After reading the draft I'm a bit confused where your proposal fits in.
If you want to have only server information (hardly usfeull IMHO) you
wouldn't need the "Index: " line, so I assume you are also after the
contents (URLs).

They correspond more to the "Document Abstracts" section of the IAFA
draft, and that proposes records with >1 fields, which is what I argued
for before (albeit with fields more specificly for a WWW context).
