On 2007-12-04 I posted an updated version incorporating your FWS and 
Netnews suggestions, and per my request the IANA has added the header to 
the provisional registry (RFC status is not required for registration, 
in accordance with RFC 3864). It is an open question whether I will ever 
request a standards action regarding this specification. As to the DEA, 
I don't think the Drug Enforcement Administration was involved. ;-)
