Are you talking about the Security Considerations section? When relaying to non MT-PRIORITY-capable MTAs, the sender already has to remove all MT-Priority header fields (MUST level requirement), because it has to insert the priority value it calculated according to its policy into a new MT-Priority header field. The calculated value might be different from the value it received. But now that I am looking at the two sections ("Security Considerations" and "Relay of messages to non-conforming SMTP servers"), they might be out of sync as far as requirements are concerned. So I need to tweak one or both of them to match. > Nits/editorial comments: > Section 7, check grammar: "within a close environment) ."

This is just trying to say that none of the solutions is perfect for everybody. I will try to reword.
