I've reviewed your postings and do not find any definition of 'trace header field'.  So there's nothing for the working group to consider.

Again, you appear to be insisting on inclusion of a term that has no consensus definition -- nevermind one that has been published -- and no operational effect on the draft.  (It's also not a wg draft.)


IMHO, SMTP identifies trace fields and Received:'s as it considers only the trace fields defined by SMTP. Indeed, it provides for additional trace fields to be registered in the (then) future.

At any rate, a minimal improvement is as follows:

OLD:
   in a fashion similar to some fields specified in [SMTP],
   such as in Section 4.1.1.4.

NEW:
   in a fashion similar to the trace fields specified in
   Section 4.1.1.4 of [SMTP].


That doesn't imply that Delivered-To: /is/ a trace field. Just that it should be treated in the same way. (The trace attribute is not registered at IANA.)
