Like it's done in routers/transports?

Hmm, well, Eli has allready asked for that a week ago or so.. :o)

I think this problems can be avoided by maintaining lists of remove and
add headers, and then doing the removes just before the adds. Like it is
done for routers/transports, I think. I may be missing some important
things, but basically this should work, or shouldn't it?

Well, users should expect what's written in the manual...
