Re: UID SEARCH responses

I disagree, I think you've misinterpreted the document. If enough people disagree, and think that UID sets are somehow defined to include missing UIDs - which I dispute - then I suppose we could issue a revision that deprecates ALL, replacing it with (perhaps) RANGE and MAP.

You have to do more than that. You have to deprecate all of ESEARCH, and replace it with different syntax.

(Irrespectively to whether you are right or wrong on the issue.)
I am sorry Mark, but this is nonsense. RFC 4731 does NOT define ESEARCH response or extended SEARCH, they are defined in RFC 4466.
Both extended SEARCH and ESEARCH response were designed to be extensible.
