I think I agree that the new example is better, as special use 
attributes can be returned by an IMAP4rev2 server without being 
requested. The new examples have slightly different semantics from the 
original though.

The original examples are also correct, because SPECIAL-USE extension 
can still be used with IMAP4rev2 servers.

So I am thinking that this should be marked as "Hold for Update".

Best Regards,

Alexey
