I would like to take this opportunity, given the number of implementers in 
the room (guten tag, Claus!), to ask:

Hypothetically, if this work were to take the path of declaring a new code 
point for this purpose, what's the likelihood of adoption?

Please note "instead of or in addition to" in the sentiment above.

Perhaps, but first it'd have to be clear what "this purpose" means.

  - Standardise "Envelope-To"/"X-Original-To" that records the public input 
address
    that led to the recipient, thus unifying a common feature of 
Exim/Postfix/...

  - Standardise a variant of "Delivered-To" for consumption by downstream MUAs 
that
    is not MTA-private for loop detection, but rather a commitment to record the
    actual delivery address and not "some opaque token" (that often happens to 
be
    the delivery address)?  If so, what's the use-case?  Who needs this, and 
what
    are they going to do with it that would motivate implementation?

  - Something else?  For what audience, and why?
