The headers defined in this specification must be registered with IANA. See permanent [1] managed by IETF under RFC 3864 [2]. Ideally, this specification would have gone to IETF, but it looks like this WG has defined that there is no problem in going ahead with the work in W3C.
The headers are provisionally registered. They will be in the permanent registry when the specification reaches a more stable state. Could you elaborate on why you think this specification should be done by the IETF?
The reason for doing this work at the W3C is that it has close ties with other specifications developed here and the specifications it is intended for, e.g. XMLHttpRequest, CSS, and HTML5, are all also at the W3C.
