It's likely necessary for the server to know which protocol the user agent has chosen, and perhaps even the hostname (for load balancing). At the very least, there should be a flag in SETTINGS that indicates that an alternate service has been used.

I think that this refers to the Service header field.

Discussed in NYC; current approach (Service header) is the right approach; still need to justify / discuss the motivations on the list.
