The Miller document is so far geared towards the definition and
semantics of a filtering header only. That can be useful provided it's
flexible enough that existing practices generally fit easily into
it. Nobody is going to use something that requires a significant shift
in thinking.

So I'm in favour of keeping that document as simple as possible, and I
agree that a communication language should be investigated
separately. Any findings on that topic can then be distilled and
incorporated as an extension, or at least used to guide the header
semantics.
