Following the discussion, I see that the delivery-to is currently used
(in many cases) to loop detection.
In such cases it could contain an email address, a token, etc..
I suspect that at the top of the problems discussed here there is a
conflict in the header name (deliverd-to:), between the current use
and the draft.
I would say that "delivered-to:" is not the best name for the current
use (loop detection), but... it is there.

Loop detection is not the purpose of this header, but loop detection makes use of it, this is a nuanced distinction.
