It is an alternative to SMTP for some HF environments. It can be
gatewayed to and from SMTP though, so it would be good to be able to
have a token in the Received line to signal that a particular message
was not transported over SMTP at some point. See

For this there must be enough interest in discussing it. The protocol is
rather specialized and I don't think there would be enough interest. So
it is a perfectly reasonable to publish it as an Independent Stream RFC.
