COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for taking this on.

(1) Section 6.3.9 says:

"The LIST command SHOULD return its data quickly, without undue delay.
   For example, it SHOULD NOT go to excess trouble to calculate the
   \Marked or \Unmarked status or perform other processing"

The second sentence seems like it does not warrant normative language given
that it is giving an example (and what does it mean for a command to measure
whether trouble is excessive anyway?).

(2) There are some recurring example names -- owatagusiam, blurdybloop, etc. --
that could probably be replaced with names that are a little more
accessible/obvious to new readers. Also, there are a lot of examples with user
names from the same cultural/linguistic context -- smith, fred, eric, etc.
Neutralizing or diversifying those names would improve the document.
