Resolution status:

- the styleguide should spell out very clearly "The Transcoder is NOT
allowed to change the User-Agent String".
I understand that the current document says "do not change headers", but at the same time, there are clauses ("the user has specifically requested a restructured desktop experience") which would allow abusive transcoders to find an excuse and keep being abusive of the rights of content owners. Preventing transcoders from changing the UA string is an effective way to avoid this abuse.
