Well, I would say satisfied rather than happy, it certainly seems like
the right things to do.
That said, perhaps someone could gen up a little web page and database
which could be used to register such things? It needs a human in the loop
or hipcrime and such will flood it... But the existance of such a thing
and a posting when new headers are registered would be a nice thing to
put in a note. Not required in any way, just as a proof of concept.
