In Section 3.1, there's this:

Similarly, the server MUST NOT impose any message limit when processing a
CLOSE or a STATUS UNSEEN command.

It's probably just a limitation of the ASCII presentation, but when I look
at this, it's like CLOSE and STATUS UNSEEN are trying to be as emphatic as
MUST NOT, or inversely, that MUST NOT is possibly part of the protocol.
But try this on for size:

Similarly, the server MUST NOT impose any message limit when processing a
"CLOSE" or a "STATUS UNSEEN" command.

The distinction is a little clearer.  It's not a major point, and not
something you have to change; it's just something that made me do a
double-take at a number of points in this document.
