OK, enclosed is my proposed re-wording for z=.

Copied header fields (plain-text, but see description; OPTIONAL, default is null). A vertical-bar-separated list of selected header fields present when the message was signed, including both the field name and value. It is not required to include all header fields present at the time of signing. This field need not contain the same header fields listed in the "h=" tag. The syntax used resembles Quoted-Printable [RFC2045]: any character MAY be encoded as an "=" followed by two hexadecimal digits from the alphabet "0123456789ABCDEF" (no lower case characters permitted) representing the internal value of that character. All control characters (those with values < %x20), eight-bit characters (values > %x7F), and the characters DEL (%x7F), SPACE (%x20), vertical bar ("|", %x7C), colon (":", %x3A), and semicolon (";", %x3B) MUST be encoded in both the header field name and the header field value. Note that all white space, including CR and LF characters, must be encoded. After encoding, SWSP MAY be added at arbitrary locations in order to avoid excessively long lines; such white space is NOT part of the value of the header field, and MUST be removed before decoding.
