Hi,

Couldn't the Message Headers IANA registry at 
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/message-headers.xhtml> 
reference the following three header fields used in mail and news messages?

* X-Face for a black & white image
* Face for a coloured image
* X-Image-URL for a link to an image


What astonishes me is that there is not much specification about them in 
the Internet.  I found information in Emacs and gnus documentation, but 
I am unsure it is enough to be referenced in the above IANA registry:

http://quimby.gnus.org/circus/face/
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/X_002dFace.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/mh-e/Viewing.html


Are you aware of any better specification?  (Any Internet-Draft?)  Were 
these header fields already discussed in an ART WG?

http://www.cs.indiana.edu/ftp/faces/index.html has more support for =
them. There might be a spec in there somewhere, but I suspect that the =
implementation by compface is what defines it.

Not that I know of, though they've been mentioned in lists of =
non-standard headers several times.

Not that I recall. Any discussion of them would probably touch on picons =
and gravatars too.

I doubt there has been any attempt to specify them.  Certainly the ones
starting with "X-" were considered experimental by whoever invented
them.

If I read the IANA page correctly, the registration procedures for
headers are specified in RFC 3864, section 4.
