"host uniq" should be capitalized or otherwise identified with markup.  Since it's used below, just be consistent and say `Host-Uniq`.

The formatting looks odd, but is apparently meant to show that there is an optional AC-Name followed by double backslashes if present, followed by an optional Host-Uniq with a vertical bar if present.  Does this render correctly?

Markup could show these with out-of-band highlighting rather than quotes.  But I'm not sure which markup to use.

Rewording:

  The argument is the URL to be delivered to the client:

> +.Bd -literal -offset indent

The argument is the message to be delivered to the client:

"may" usually implies "you have permission", while "can" means "it is possible".  So:

  message with a HURL tag is received, and contains a URL which the Host can

Should Host be capitalized?

As above:

  Minute which the Host can display to the user.
