I am concerned that there are close to an infinite number of such headers
that might be requested, some neutral, some potentially of some concern, but
there is not the bandwidth to make them all RFCs.
I am not sure what others exist, but if there is not yet one for hamradio
there will be a request as soon as I get back from vacation.
Then I am sure there will be requests for pretty much every social grouping
and identity.
Surely there is some more generic approach to the labelling of such
identities?
Like, say, an Affiliation: field? Whose value can have multiple levels on a par
with the Organization/Organizational Unit structure you find in LDAP or X.500
directories? And which can appear more than once if you're a joiner like Snug?
I suppose you could then have a FCFS value registry if you felt like there's
some need to have at least some pain assocated with this idea. Or better
yet, don't.
What am I missing here?
