From Vienna chat. A proxy is not a generic HTTP intermediary, and therefore is not subject to the same rules.

From @tfpauly:
Generic proxies would forward unknown HTTP headers between clients and targets. We should be very clear that oblivious proxies are not generic, and should not be doing things like forwarding unknown headers arbitrarily between client and target, or target and client.

Let's be clearer about what it means to proxy here.  Also, since it is
the same text, talk about TLS assumptions more directly.

This will interact poorly with ietf-wg-ohai#96.  Sorry about that @chris-wood.

Closes ietf-wg-ohai#106.
Closes ietf-wg-ohai#102.
