IMHO IANA section is not the good place to widely describe all the
implied new headers in this specification. IANA section is like a
"mandatory" section to make happy some people/organizations. IMHO the
document itself (out of the IANA section) should have a specific
section describing (not in depth) each header.

For example, RFC 3261 (SIP) has a section describing each header field:
  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261#section-20

and also there is an IANA section for that:
  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261#section-27.3
