A terminology nit, but it's going to come up in the future so I'd like to put it out there early before we have a big re-editing job to do:


In practical  terms, people do not say header field.

But the spec does.  And always has.  For a very long time.

With the hindsight of that long view, I wish it didn't.  Doesn't matter that it made sense, originally.

However, absent a /compelling/ reason change I suggest retaining the formal form, at least in the spec.  At the least, it avoid the derivative requirement that would be created, to find a name for the collection of the fields.  (Yeah, we could say "the collection of the headers", but, well...)
