No, HDR SHOULD return any requested header that is actually present in the
article. However, we have agreed that it MAY decline to return any header
not mentioned in OVERVIEW.FMT, provided we can think of a suitable
response code for this situation.

Also, it SHOULD remove any folding and TAB characters in the same way that
OVER does.

My undertstanding is that Russ is about to propose some new wording.
