[Med] I'm not sure about this Ted. There are other initiatives that try to 
solve the issue for particular use cases, see for instance this effort for 
HTTP: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-http-forwarded-10. The 
rationale of the "host identifier scenarios" document is to group all use cases 
suffering from the same problem instead of focusing on one single case. This 
allows having a big picture view of the problem space.

[Med] Fair enough.
