Thanks,  this is a timely comment, we're about to submit the work
in progress updates.  The SMTP draft was cleaved in twain early in
its evolution from a document that aimed to cover more protocols
than just SMTP.  The part that defines these terms is in its other
half, draft-dane-ops-02.html, we can add a brief description of
the terms with references to RFC 6698.
