I'm still with Ned.  The new text fixes a few things but it mistakenly
took out the language that says Delivered-To is a trace header.

Oddly, it even cites RFC 5321 section 4.1.1.4 which describss what trace
headers are.

Old:

   This specification defines the "Delivered-To" header field, for
   annotating a delivery event and the individual address to which
   delivery has been effected.  A sequence of deliveries, such as when a
   message goes through multiple mailing lists, SHOULD be recorded with
   a series of Delivered-To: header fields.  As with some other
   information, each additional Delivered-To: header field MUST be
   placed at the current 'top' of the message -- as the first header
   field, in a fashion similar to some fields specified in [SMTP], such
   as in Section 4.1.1.4.  In addition, and as with other fields placed
   at the current top, the Delivered-To header field MUST NOT be
   reordered, with respect to other Delivered-to fields AND those other
   fields.
