Hi Stéphane,

Thanks for having taken the time to read the document.


> 2.1 :
>
>>     [S] COMPRESS DEFLATE X-SHRINK
>
> Is the last capability a good example, giving RFC 6648?
>
> 7.1 :
>
>> To avoid the risk of a clash with a future registered NNTP

>> SHOULD begin with "X-".
>
> Same remark.

I agree that it should be changed somehow, as well as Section 2.2.3 
where X-SHRINK is also mentioned.

Suggestion:  using "SHRINK" instead of "X-SHRINK" as capability label, 
and just remove sentences about "X" or "X-" in Section 7.1.

Thanks again Stéphane for recalling the existence of RFC 6648.
