Right, and even then, if a client can't put parameters on the envelope, 
it's not going to be very satisfactory.  On the other hand, if you do have 
an explicit envelope with parameters, a lot of other stuff falls out 
naturally.

For example, the marinate* option that people were arguing about is the 
FUTURERELEASE extension defined in RFC 4865. with the HOLDFOR and 
HOLDUNTIL parameters.  No need to invent anything, it's already there.

I hope Ned Freed weighs in here, since he's done more hand to hand combat 
with this stuff than anyone.

R's,
