HTTP/1.1 issue: Proxy-Authorization

An application I'm working on depends on a user agent's sending the
Proxy-Authorization header to a proxy every time once authentication
has been requested (and is successful). Netscape does so; MSIE 3.01
does not.
The HTTP/1.1 spec. is silent about whether a UA must send the header
every time. I would like to know what the intended behavior is. If
"every time" is the intended behavior, the spec. needs to be
clarified.
