I've started work on implementing the HOST command in proftpd, and have 
submitted some of my feedback directly to the Draft authors.  I do have 
some continuing questions about how HOST would interact with e.g AUTH TLS, 
and/or SSL/TLS's Server Name Indication (SNI) mechanism.

I would also like to revive interest in the MODE Z draft, and see if it 
can get to RFC status, given that there now multiple implementations of 
it:

   I have spread my dreams under your feet;
   Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
