Are we sure that the proposed changes would not require re-cycling RFC2822 at Proposed Standard?

I can't see why. The only real change here is to remove "no-fold-quote" from the "allowed to generate" syntax for message ids. (Of course we still require that they be interpreted.) I think this amounts to "removing an unused/non-interoperable feature", which is a *desirable* thing when moving to Draft.

ahh.  right.  merely dropping an unused construct.

i thought I was seeing suggestions for making real semantic changes.
