I have no serious issues, but some minor ones:

I miss a list of changes.  Aren't there any? I miss a table of contents,
too.

I miss a section "Interaction with Other Sieve Actions".  Obviously,
"relational" is only incompatible with comparators that return no
sort information.  There are no incompatibilities with any actions
and implicit keep is not touched, but I would prefer not having to
read that between the lines.

Section 2:

   The capability string associated with extension defined in this
   document is "relational".

I think this does not belong to "Conventions used in this document",
but to its own section "Capability Identifier".

Section 4.1:

   The VALUE match type may be used with any comparator which returns
   sort information.

And which comparator of the base language does that? All, I guess,
but I miss reading that.

Am I right in thinking that using "i;octet", the left side " B " is
equal to "B" (white space is stripped from the left side), but "B"
is not equal to " B " (white space is not stripped from the right side)?

Is white space on the right side an error when used with "eq"?
