	fields as Structured Fields subject to the caveats in Section 2, a
	sender cannot generate mapped fields from Section 3 and expect them
	to be understood and acted upon by the recipient without prior
	negotiation. This specification does not define such a mechanism.
	1.1. Notational Conventions		Retrofitting data structures onto existing and widely-deployed HTTP
			fields requires careful handling to assure interoperability and
			security. This section highlights considerations for applications
			that use Retrofit Structured Fields.
			While the majority of field values seen in HTTP traffic should be
			able to be parsed or mapped successfully, some will not. An
			application using Retrofit Structured Fields will need to define how
			unsuccessful values will be handled.
			For example, an API that exposes field values using Structured Fields
			data types might make the field value available as a string in cases
			where the field did not successfully parse or map.
			The mapped field values described in Section 3 are not compatible
			with the original syntax of their fields, and so cannot be used
			unless parties processing them have explicitly indicated their
			support for that form of the field value. An application using
			Retrofit Structured Fields will need to define how to negotiate
			support for them.
			For example, an alternative serialization of fields that takes
			advantage of Structured Fields would need to establish an explicit
			negotiation mechanism to assure that both peers would handle that
			serialization appropriately before using it.
			See also the security considerations in Section 5.
