Sorry, it was IETF week.

There was the following in Section 2:

   "HOST_ID does not reveal the identity of a user, a subscriber or an
    application."

That was changed to state that HOST_ID is not designed to reveal the 
identity of a user.  The question is whether it can be used to reveal 
the identity of the user.  I don't see an explanation for that in 
draft-ietf-intarea-nat-reveal-analysis-06.

The layering issue for Forwarded header (Section 4.4.1) is still in 
draft-ietf-intarea-nat-reveal-analysis-06.

In Section 4.4.2:

   "Injecting Forwarded header also introduces some implementations
    complexity if the HTTP message is at or close to the MTU size."

I don't know how much breakage will occur with this.

I would leave it to the document shepherd to decide whether to 
discuss all this in the working group.  It could be used to override 
the concern if everyone looks the other way. :-)
