OK, it now say, in the duties of an injecting agent:
10.The injecting agent MAY add other headers not already provided by
the poster, but SHOULD NOT alter, delete or reorder any headers
already present in the article, except that existing headers
intended for tracing purposes, such as Injector-Info and
Complaints-To, are to be removed as already mentioned. The
injecting agent MUST NOT alter the body of the article in any way.
NOTE: Care needs to be exercised, when adding any non-mandatory
header in this way, to ensure that the intentions of the poster
are preserved. In particular, the addition of a Sender header
would have privacy implications similar to those set out in
6.19.1 regarding the Injector-Info header.
