This draft specifies a SMTP extension. The IANA Considerations does
not mention registration in the the SMTP Service Extensions
registry. There should also be an indication about the extension
being valid for the submit port. The issue of referencing STANAG
4406 was resolved by the IESG last year (see RFC 6477).
This draft also defines the MT-Priority header field. It is quite
unusual for a SMTP extension specification to define a mail header
field. If I had an reservations about this draft, it would be on
architectural grounds. The draft tries really hard to transfer
priority information over the Internet and in a foreign
environment. Although the draft is well-written and can be
implemented, I have doubts about whether it will achieve its
objective. I unfortunately cannot support the publication of this
draft as a Proposed Standard.
