 <t>
    The Max-Forwards request-header field &MAY; be used to target a
-   specific proxy in the request chain. When a proxy receives an OPTIONS
-   request on an absolute-URI for which request forwarding is permitted,
-   the proxy &MUST; check for a Max-Forwards field. If the Max-Forwards
-   field-value is zero ("0"), the proxy &MUST-NOT; forward the message;
-   instead, the proxy &SHOULD; respond with its own communication options.
-   If the Max-Forwards field-value is an integer greater than zero, the
-   proxy &MUST; decrement the field-value when it forwards the request. If
-   no Max-Forwards field is present in the request, then the forwarded
+   specific proxy in the request chain (see <xref target="header.max-forwards"/>).
+   If no Max-Forwards field is present in the request, then the forwarded
    request &MUST-NOT; include a Max-Forwards field.
