FWIW, RFC 4485 - "Guidelines for Authors of Extensions to SIP" defines the
rules involved in creating, processing new methods & new headers.

Refer Section 4.11 for rules for defining new headers.

The proxy should never reject a request just because it contains a header it
does not know about. 

My 2 cents,
Gaurav
