But I think we should stick to the vision that it *could* happen, because changing the Injection-Date course midway between usefor-usefor and usefor-usepro is messy. There was a reason why Russ proposed this header field, we had a conflict with the RFC 2822 Date semantics, and we decided to emulate the slightly different Netnews semantics with the new Injection-Date. If folks want to revert that decision let them do it later in the successors of usefor-usefor and usefor-usepro. But *that* would be a discussion which I'd try to avoid, WG or elsewhere. Frank
