Well the definition of these, should we retain them, is not in dispute (it
just codifies a moderately implemented existing practice). The texts
exist. It would cost 15 minutes of my time to remove them from USEPRO, or
15 minutes of Ken's time to add them to USEFOR, whichever we decide.
What were the arguments against? Just a little unease expressed by one,
maybe two, persons IIRC.

Well that _would_ consume a lot of WG time :-( . Last I heard, even Russ
was prepared (reluctantly) to put up with the MIME style syntax.
But if this is to be considered, may we have some proposals please? I
presume we still want some form of keyword:attribute pairs; it needs to be
extensible (including x-keywords for occasional use) and it needs to allow
for non-ASCII characters in the attributes. OTOH, splitting over-long
attributes across several lines is not really needed.
>6. Remove filename parameter from the Archive header.
Had probably better wait until we have decided on Injection-Info. If a
MIME filename= parameter is considered good enough for the
Content-Disposition header (where MUAs regularly need to parse and act
upon it), then I can't see why it is not suitable for Archive (where it
only needs to be interpreted by a few special purpose archiving agents).
>7. FWS issue in headers.
Please specify what you have in mind here.
