I somewhat agree, but would go further: I would like to
see the whole thing much more like onion layering.
different processing steps for a message may add new
headers/metadata, but they would do so in clearly
identifiable and separated layers. I don't think that
a limitation on two layers (they way I would describe
your proposal) is necessary or beneficial.
