The RFCs give good guidance on what's considered proper, but you're
trying to reverse that, and expect everything considered proper to
trace back to an RFC.  I don't expect to find all forms of etiquette
and "good ideas" (tm) to appear in an RFC.

Since you seem to consider Mail-Followup-To improper, please tell us
the proper way to indicate reply preference.  

You outright disregarded my preference in your reply to my post, and
in a discussion around it, so I would be interested to know what type
of indicator would compel you to not send personal copies of public
replies to those who don't want to receive them, if Mail-Followup-To
is unacceptible to you.
