Hi Dan et al,

In reviewing the documents/agenda requests put forth for IETF-93, we are
not yet able to dispatch this document.  Fundamentally, it comes back down
to the points Hadriel made in the last discussion of this document way back
in December, 2011 (in the SIPPING WG mailing list) to which I didn't see a
response (on SIPPING nor did I see the discussion switch over to DISPATCH):
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/sipping/current/msg17803.html

Also, in that thread of discussion, I didn't see comments from the "lots of
people" that are using this header - I saw some technical comments from
Paul K and Brett (I wasn't quite sure if those were yet fully addressed or
in which version doing a quick scan of the diffs).  So, is this just a
matter of documenting what a few vendors are doing and are there other
proprietary mechanisms out there for carrying the same information or is
this the defacto standard way such that there's value in having it document
in an IETF RFC?

Thanks,
Mary.
