Subject: Re: z= question with X headers

I also read it the same way Arvel did. Also, if it isn't interpreted
that way, you get ambiguities when multiple instances of a particular
header are listed and only some of the values are presented in z=. In
particular, the z= field is also supposed to help you work around header
reordering; you need all values to be there in order to do that.
