-        NOTE: A Path-content will inevitably contain at least one path-
-        identity, except possibly in the case of a proto-article that
-        has not yet been injected onto the network.
-
-        NOTE: Observe that the syntax does not allow comments within the
-        Path-header; this is to simplify processing by relaying and
-        injecting agents which have a requirement to process this header
-        extremely rapidly.
-
-   A relaying agent SHOULD NOT pass an article to another relaying agent
-   whose path-identity (or some known alias thereof) already appears in
-   the Path-content. Since the comparison may be either case sensitive
-   or case insensitive, relaying agents SHOULD NOT generate a name which
-   differs from that of another site only in terms of case.
-
-   A relaying agent MAY decline to accept an article if its own path-
-   identity is already present in the Path-content or if the Path-
-   content contains some path-identity whose articles the relaying agent
-   does not want, as a matter of local policy.
-
-        NOTE: This last facility is sometimes used to detect and decline
-        control messages (notably cancel messages) which have been
-        deliberately seeded with a path-identity to be "aliased out" by
-        sites not wishing to act upon them.
