Title: Any Comments on the Draft?
Randy, thanks for putting this draft together - we really need to make some progress in this area, and the draft gives us all some impetus.
 
There are a few points in the draft that I'd like to see changed:
 
1)  I'd prefer to see the whole solution provided on the SMTP port than on some other port.  Admittedly if someone is _only_ going to provide on-demand email service a separate port for a specialized service might make sense, but in reality anyone who's providing on-demand service is also going to be providing regular SMTP service.  Just making this part of SMTP seems to make more sense to me.
 
2)  I don't see the need for specifying the domains to be turned on the TURN command.  Since some out-of-band mechanism is required to link authenticated user IDs and the domains they're allowed to TURN, simply having the server keep a list of domains to TURN for each ID would be simpler.  With no arguments on the TURN command, adding a domain to the list for a given ID only requires updating the ISP's configuration; with domain arguments, both the ISP and the customer would need to update their configuration in synch.
