well, what is valid for the message format is not necessarily
valid for SMTP - since the message format is transport-independent
while SMTP is associated with specific transports.

Indeed. In some transport systems, the domain literal might be interpreted
as the serial number of the loft that the carrier pigeon was supposed to
fly to.

nah, they could implment RFC 1149 and use IP address literals.
