Thanks! 

Proxies definitely will forward such responses - I can find that
normative text easily. Its the endpoints I was trying to chase
the normative reference on. What you've got below at least gives
me a non-normative hook to search from.

btw - I slip-sent this message to a much larger list than I originally
intended - *blush*. Sorry to bother all of you with my laziness.
