Hi Marcin ,

Thanks for the review! 

> It would be good to distinguish between the term "intended recipient" and "recipient". From the context I understand that the intended recipient is used with regards to the target for the message being passed through relays and the recipient is a term used to describe a host which is currently holding a message. Perhaps this clarification could be placed in the glossary or somewhere in the text?

How about the following text:

"... the message is valid for constructing a new Relay-forward message if a relay agent receives the message, but the relay agent does not identify itself as the target of the message, and the message is not a Relay-Reply message."

Is the usage of 'target' here is precise?
