I think Reject has to be optional, because some implementation 
environments can't support it (specifically, some environments either 
can't control the DSN generation, or can't alter the text used in it).

My understanding of the DRUMS discussion on Resent-* headers is that 
they are not to be used for .forward style automatic, unconditional 
forwarding, but are supposed to be used for user-initiated forwarding. 
I say that Sieve falls into this latter category, and thus Resent-* 
headers SHOULD be generated.

I've implemented them, but I suspect there may be implementation 
environments where this is hard to support, and so I don't think we can 
require it.
