As part of our Draft, this text is somewhat funny. Wouldn't it be more
appropriate to discuss X-Trace & co in a note?

NNTP-Posting-Host is so widespread and so much of a de facto-standard,
that it merits a section of its own, even if only to be deprecated.

I tend to agree with Russ that Complaints-To probably should be a
header of its own.
