In fact, you were recently suggesting that a Wide-Reply-To header be standardized -- thereby mandating a user interface to that header. The IETF's job is to promote multi-vendor interoperability by defining standardized protocols. While it's good to avoid unnecessary constraints on the user interface, almost every application protocol has a profound impact on the way a user interface works. Standardizing one subaddress format means that any product which chooses to use the standard subaddress format (and this choice is by no means mandatory) will interoperate with subaddress support in other products implementing the standard. - Chris
