Use of the option seems like a reasonable idea. However I am not sure how it gets used at the validating end.

That is, I do not see what the expected scenario is, once the difference between original Subject and current Subject is detected.

  It's all rather simple: if the change is "acceptable", for some value
  of "acceptable", you use the z= header instead of the actual header.
  Pretty much what Barry outlined.

So, you wish to specify that a security validation step rely on a heuristic?

Further, the definition of "acceptable" is pending. For example, what are the variations between the original header and the new header that are acceptable?
