It's to get around the "MUST implement a > policy". I think I actually prefer it the way it is, because it highlights the key point that this is all a policy decision. If, in fact, an implementation should allow a policy that everyone's considered authenticated, and some deployment should choose that policy, I'd be fine with it... because they have chosen their policy. >> The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", >> "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this >> document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119] when they >> appear in ALL CAPS. > > I suggest "upper case" instead of "ALL CAPS". As this is my text, which I gave Alexey, I clearly prefer "ALL CAPS". I like that it's demonstrative. On the other hand, the discussion on ietf.org about whether this is a wise idea or not brings up other issues of more substance. > "The maximum length of a MAIL FROM command line is increased by 15 > characters by the possible addition of the MT-PRIORITY keyword > and value." > > RFC 5321 uses the term "octets" instead of "characters". I'd put this as a minor issue, rather than a nit, and strongly suggest that it be changed. Barry
