Technical Summary
 
Implementation of generators and parsers of header fields requires
certain information about those fields.  Interoperability is most
likely when all such information is explicitly provided by the
technical specification of the fields.  Lacking such explicit
information, implementers may guess, and interoperability may suffer.
This memo identifies information useful to implementers of header
field generators and parsers.
