The key to a successful standard is to make one that is simple *and*
flexible. Yours is simple, but non-flexible. Hank Pennings is
flexible, and (in my opinion) simple. I do think it's *ugly* but I
can't really find any better solutions.
We don't know what kind of URLs people want, and we most definitely
won't know what they ill want in a couple of years, so I think we
shouldn't have a fixed set of headers, but a header that allows most
anything. We can still have a standard set of descriptions.
