Ok, new probably wasn't a great choice.  Updated anyway, and I'd rather it build off of the other more recent thinking rather than have the potential forked path.  It's way easier to support an A + B + C scenario than an A, maybe-B, sometimes-C, perhaps all three scenario.  

Additionally it would simplify the spec (and thus the implementation) if you can take SMTPUTF8 as a prerequisite, then you can get rid of the 7-bit and other compat stuff.

Shawn,

Thanks for taking a look.  A clarification or two below in the hope of saving time....

I don't see this as a new mechanism, so much as tuning of the original MDN specifications through RFC 3798.  The SMTPUTF8 (remember we switched the term around to distinguish the standards-track machinery from the earlier experimental specs) MDN machinery, described in RFC 6533, is very much dependent on and, IMO, evolutionary from, 3798.

That said, I'm quite concerned about our going, instead of a path like the one you are suggesting which I see as

   3798 -> 6533 -> maybe 6533bis -> unified MDN spec

to

   3798 -> 6533 -> eventual 6533bis
        \
         -> 3798bis -> ...

and would see an SMTPUTF8 prerequisite to unified MDNs, or at least a unified MDN model that didn't require handling separate from SMTPUTF8/6533[bis?], as highly desirable in that regard.
See my longer note from earlier today for one view of the details.

best,
   john
