Who maintains the set of standards for mail headers (like From: and
>Path: and whatever). Is it just sort of my mutual agreement of
people who write routers and mailers and readers?

And has anyone thought of adding a Priority: {High, Middle, Low} to
the list, with Low messages being the Madonna mailing list; Middle
being regularly scheduled meetings; High being time-sensitive, more
urgent information (and so forth)?
