Hi.

This note is just for information and documentation -- no action
required or requested until we have a WG.

Thinking about my recent response to Jeremy and Timo raised
another question about 5321bis: 

Given that the DSN extensions, the DSN model, and the Enhanced
Status Codes are widely implemented and used, should 5321bis
incorporate them or at least reference them normatively?   If
the latter and maybe even if 5321bis ignores them, they are
another candidate for inclusion in the Applicability Statement.

The working copy of 5321bis Appendix G has been modified to add
the above to the list.

best,
  john
