I think that Cullen's request is reasonable.

I really don't understand the obsession with labeling.  Branding something
as less than 100% "compliant" if they don't use the header field seems OK
to me.  There are plenty of other places where implementations will be
non-compliant. Also, I think that everyone involved understands that the
target is still moving.
