Following the discussion, I see that the delivery-to is currently used (in many cases) to loop detection. In such cases it could contain an email address, a token, etc.. I suspect that at the top of the problems discussed here there is a conflict in the header name (deliverd-to:), between the current use and the draft. I would say that "delivered-to:" is not the best name for the current use (loop detection), but... it is there.
