If I correctly understand the intended use of Delivered-to and the meaning of "added at the time of delivery", I believe that the examples in Section 4 are in error. The example does not show a Return-path and I'm having trouble figuring out a case in which the Delivered-to header field could be added before the SMTP processor made whatever it would think of a final delivery and inserted the Return-path. If that analysis is correct, it appears to me that the examples can be easily corrected by adding Return-path: header fields, presumably below the top Delivered-to: one. If not, some explanation may be in order in Section 5 that I'm not finding there. Also, I believe, after reading through this document (at -00) several times, reading the diffs and then -01, that the meaning of "final delivery" in its text is different from that in RFC 5321 and 5321bis. If that is correct, it seems to me to be worthwhile to be explicit about the difference in this document, not to simply point to another document and assume the reader will figure out it. thanks, john
