Re: Second Draft of "Implications of MIME for MTAs"

I have absolutely no issue with the need tosurface and discuss these
things.  What I want in the RFC is a statement the wards off the specter
that I fear.  Label it as an area of considerable controversy and
speculation and ongoing work, but don't publish it with the words that
are there now.  They lend credence to the idea that the MTA should be
free, at the MTA level to tranform things for its own reasons, such as
expectations that bandwidth should be conserved on subsequent hops.

Beyond that, we need to discuss all this for sure...\Stef
