I'm not sure what point is being made, but RFC 4871 does explicitly
define the default value of "i=" (an empty Local-part followed by an "@"
followed by the domain from the "d=" tag).  It isn't clear what "this"
context is, and the paragraph is likely to introduce confusion as to
whether the default value in RFC 4871 no longer exists.

The text needs to be taken in the context in which it occurs.  So, for example, 
the "This" parallels the "This Update" in the preceding paragraph.  Equally, 
the 
reference to implicit value is within the Update, not to RFC 4871.


Both of these paragraphs should be removed.

The concerned area director(s) found the added text helpful.
