Link:  http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/40

When we do this, we should consider adding extra information to the template (Graham has done this for a lot of the Mail registrations IIRC).

E.g., header classification, whether it's a single value or a list, etc.

I'm happy to help with this if you like.

Are you suggesting to augment the registration template? That would require updating BCP90, right?
