Hello chairs and members of mailmaint (also CC: emailcore for awareness)

I would like to request that this working group adopt the document:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gondwana-email-header-maintenance/

And then quickly iterate upon anything that the corrected wisdom and memory of these groups recalls about any header being mis-labeled by the automated detection machinery I used to generate it.  I'm not the world's expert on every one of those headers, but I'm very keen to get that registry updated with everything we know so it can indeed be the canonical reference for every header field name.

Thanks,

Bron.
