In article <d57068dc-e966-e5c4-ba52-d9528fbb22c5@arcsin.de> you write:

It's the one you found.  If the authserv-id has a non-ASCII UTF-8 character,
it's invalid under 5321 and valid under 6531.

Right.  ASCII mail and EAI mail are handled as separate streams, even if
they share a mail server.  See this old blog post of mine:
