Late last night I finished up folding in outstanding feedback, but I think the 
above warrants a brief discussion.

I too have never seen anyone implement the HTTP reporting channel.  The 
original thinking was to keep the reporting channel a bit flexible (way back 
when, some reports were delivered via FTP, eg), but clearly that sort of 
flexibility isn't needed or at least desired.

Removing the HTTP section means we'll have RUA/F meaning "Reporting URIs", but 
the only allowed URI is "mailto:";.  Although a bit of an oddity, I don't think 
we can go as far as remove the "URI" bits, 'cause that would break existing 
implementations.

Permission to chop out HTTP-based reporting?
