When I look at this registry I see a list of header fields and the RFC or
other reference that defines each one:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/message-headers.xhtml

How would this be different?

I can sort of see adding a column to the existing registry with a hint
about where in the mail process it's typically added, but not a whole new registry.
