I would like some supporting documentation on this.  So far we only have 
one stackoverflow question, and then this implementation, and they are 
not even the same format.  My worry is that if there is not precise 
specification, then people are going to want to add things in the 
future, and there will be no way to analyze such requests in a 
principled way.
