IMHO, you are being too literate with the words in the protocol name
while being very permissive with the protocol specs. Most of the ones
you rejected can be used without harm IMHO.

I did not have anything like that in mind. Personally, I would not call
it "envelop" because the protocol does not envelop the message, it only
provides a prefix, header, or "top line". This is why I suggested
"letterhead" rather than "envelop".

Other related variants are:

  * Client Letterhead Protocol
  * Client Annex Protocol

Pretty much anything would be better than PROXY though :-).
