Correction, none of the domains in SURBLs should be legitimate so they should not have value in being added to headers. Still SURBLs are best used on URIs only.

Yes, and your earlier point is still valid, as headers would be an easy way to poison SURBL checks and make life a living hell for those who hand-check URIs.
