	4. History Lists		3.6.8. Warn Code Extensions
			The HTTP Warn Code Registry defines the name space for warn codes.
			A registration MUST include the following fields:
			o Warn Code (3 digits)
			o Short Description
			o Pointer to specification text
			Values to be added to this name space are subject to IETF review
			([RFC5226], Section 4.1).
			The registry itself is maintained at
			<http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-warn-codes>.
