Why not insert this header using IHAVE of nnrpd? This is injection too,
just using a different command and should be handled like POST. Of course,
it should not be added by IHAVE of innd.

Hmm. Some people use always midnight for Date: header for privacy reasons
(e.g. they are posting during working hours). Injection-Date: will disclose
the exact date and should be made configurable for privacy reasons.

As mentioned above: IHAVE in nnrpd (not used very often) should be handled
like POST because it is injection too.

Should be the same string which is added to the Path: header. Necessary to
identify Path: preloading or article re-injection.

If not resolvable it should be just posting-host="83.114.132.186" as
I understand RFC 5536.

This is already implemented in innd and should not be changed.
