ISSUE: consistency of Injection-Info

["Charles Lindsey" <chl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Issue # requested

Injecting agents have considerable freedom in choosing which of the
available Injection-Info parameters to use. However, if they select at
random from the available possibilities, or in the values they insert in
the chosen parameter (and especially in 'posting-account', it is going to
make life difficult for the rest of the net, particularly for those
wishing to use Injection-Info in killfiles in order to catch people who
keep morphing their From headers. So they should choose a consistent
format, and stick to it.

Usepro-06 had the following wording in the Duties of an injecting agent:

   Each injecting agent SHOULD use a consistent form of the Injection-Info
   header field for all articles originating from the same or similar
   origins.

That, or something similar, needs to go after Step 11 of section 3.4
