Mark,

Is there a specific use-case motivating this additional header?   ie are
there situations that a proxy can use this to do more than just log/debug a
tunnel?

I'm certainly not opposed to having the additional information that this
header provides, but I'd like to know what advantage there is for a client
to include the header.  If there is none, then it is not likely to be sent.

cheers
