Given that IMAPrev2 is relatively new (in email time scales...), and 
most current implementations implement IMAP4rev1, the statement that 
this new spec is compatible is comforting. Particularily given that the 
RFC talks about IDs, and sematics of IDs are a *major* main point in 
IMAP, it's re-assuring that this RFC is explicitly backwards compatible 
with IMAP4rev1.
