I understand this document aims to make a recommendation but IMHO it would be useful if the I-D discusses other aspects which are not covered so far such as the behaviour of the server when some headers such XFF are used. Storing the content of such headers would be useful in some scenarios (the port binding is not logged in the address sharing side) which prefer to expose an identifier to the destination server instead of maintaining a binding.

I agree. The shared-addressing-issues document was always intended to be a catalogue of issues, and not to get into a large amount of detail regarding any particular issue, and certainly not to make any specific recommendations about how issues can be addressed. So in that light, I think the server-logging-recommendations document is a helpful addition.
