Ok, cool but ulysses specific.

As Andi stated before, if a non-neutron client issues some "neutron 
command" (command url given by introspection file)  it's the 
non-neutron clients problem how to deal with the response. Neutron 
clients should be required to support all exception types defined in 
the spec, including exception type="authorization".

I'd remove the header.

Thanks,
Thomas
