The following issues to have achieved rough concensus:
"RSET scope issue" (delete troublesome sentence)
"smtpupd-12: <SP> optional in replies?" (Eric Allman's proposed text)
"smtpupd-12: Four letter command verbs" (delete "four letter" from sec 2.4)
"smtpupd-12: MAIL resets state tables and buffers" (John Beck's proposed
text)
"suggested revision for MUST/SHOULD"
(use 2119 defs minus sec 6, language review by Paul Hoffman pending)
There is one remaining open issue on the smtpupd draft:
"Negotiated noncompliance"
there is evidence of significant support, but a lack of rough concensus on
specific text. Given how late we are, I'd prefer we proceed with
publication of smtpupd-13 with best possible speed and only include text on
this issue if rough concensus becomes clear before smtpupd-13 is ready. If
you think smtpupd-13 should be held up until we have closure on this issue
(either on specific text or as a rathole), send a reply to this message
stating so.
