> What's the intent for the relationship between URCs and HTML headers?

I think the requirement section of draft-ietf-uri-urc-spec-00.txt
needs to be elaborated in order to answer the question.

In particular, there seem to be requirements from IAFA, IIIR, Z39.50,
HTML, WAIS, and a few other things.

I'm wondering, by the way, whether there's a different representation
for URC-as-specification ("a set of attributes that you might expect
to find") vs URC-as-description ("what are the characteristics of this
here document").

Are there other applications that might call out different
representations?
