#1043 USEFOR 2.1 term "header": Resolved
With a few refinements based on the discussion, this item is now closed.
ROUGH consensus.
OLD:
This specification uses the terms "header", "header name", and
"header content" which are synonymous with the [RFC2822] terms
"header field", "field name", and "field body" respectively.
NEW:
NOTE: Older News specifications used the term "header" as a synonym
for what [RFC2822] calls "header field". This document follows
the terminology of RFC 2822 in using the term "header field",
based on a belief that consistent terminology among specifications
that depend on each other makes the specifications easier to use
in the long run.
Also add one more definition to this section:
This specification also uses the following terms:
Header line - a line as defined in [RFC2822] section 2.1 that forms
part of a header field.
