In theory, Via could be used to identify these loops. However, in
practice it is not used in this fashion, because some HTTP servers
use Via for other purposes - in particular, some implementations
disable some HTTP/1.1 features when the Via header is present.
It would be nice if this came with pointers to related bug reports so the reader could have a glance.
2. The CDN-Loop Request Header Field
CDN-Loop: FooCDN, barcdn; host="foo123.bar.cdn"
CDN-Loop: baz-cdn; abc="123"; def="456", anotherCDN
Note that the token syntax does not allow whitespace, DQUOTE or any
of the characters "(),/:;<=>?@[]{}". See [RFC7230], Section 3.2.6.
s/. See [RFC7230], Section 3.2.6./([RFC7230], Section 3.2.6)./
Likewise, note the rules for when parameter values need to be quoted
in [RFC7231], Section 3.1.1.

Is this just personal preference, or is there a reason you suggest this form? I see nothing about it in RFC7322.
In this case it was a personal preference, but note that just because
multiple forms are blessed, they work equally well everywhere...
Best regards, Julian
