Per Amos request on IRC, here are some suggestions for renaming the new
protocol itself (in case the protocol author, Willy Tarreau, might be
open to suggestions):

  * On Behalf Of Protocol

  * True Client Information Disclosure Protocol
  * TCP Client Information Disclosure Protocol

  * The Right To Be Remembered Protocol
  * Remember The Right Client Protocol

  * From and To Protocol
  * Actually From and To Protocol

  * Letterhead Protocol
  * True Client Letterhead Protocol
  * TCP Client Letterhead Protocol

  * Top Line Protocol
  * Top Header Protocol
  * Top Shelf Protocol

Most can be creatively "acronymized" for brevity, of course.

I have not validated any of these suggestions against prior art and
cultural clashes (although some puns were intentional).

The protocol renaming can be combined with renaming the PROXY magic word
in the top line as well, but they do not have to.

HTH,

Alex.
