How is this draft going to be relevant? Unless implementors
are of the perception that life will be better after
implementation, then they aren't going along with it.
It surely would be easier for implmenters if the present
draft were split:
- USEFOR Non-English character sets.
- USEFOR Header extension methods
- USEFOR Interoperation with mail and archives
- USEFOR MIME Encapsulation
- USEFOR Verification, Security, and Privacy
- USEFOR Server control messages
We have a document that fits together, so splitting it
all apart would not generate inconsistencies and conflicts.
Then implementors could say that they are compliant with
individual RFCs, instead of saying "Bah! who needs all
that stuff?! I'm not aiming for compliance."
