    Description

      Given this guideline (which I agree with) Subscription.header is a problematic feature.

      Existing Wording:

      Subscription resources are not intended to be secure storage for secrets (e\.g\., OAuth Client ID or Tokens, etc\.)\. Implementers MAY use their judgement on including limited-use secrets (e\.g\., a token supplied in Subscription\.header to verify that a message is from the desired source)\.
