I think I agree.

Yes, I spotted that one and it grated a bit. The "it" is not mandatory,
but I agree it would read better with it in.

Yes. Many many drafts ago, the term _was_ Injector-Info, and this one seems
to have been overlooked.

+1

Since the Path header is generated right to left, this confusion will
always be there, but I think "following" is correct, and I think that is
the usage elsewhere in the drafts.

Yes, that is correct.

The re-re-sender needs to use his imagination! It is not actually
forbidden to have two Original-Senders, and he could add a comment if he
was that fussy. But I don't think we really care, so leave it be.

Those are my comments. I presume Russ will adopt them as he sees fit.
