And remember about difficulty of implementing METADATA on servers. LISTEXT might be already difficult to implement, but unlike METADATA it doesn't require any additional attribute storage facilities from the mailstore.

I believe this is true, but:
- is everybody doing POSTADDRESS going to do METADATA anyway?

The answer for my implementation is No (at least not in short term)

- Is it possible to support METADATA without allowing clients to write and create their own properties?

Yes, but currently there is no way for the client to discover that this is the case.
