Call me old-fashioned if you will, but I take the view that a purely
hypothetical paper design to address a largely hypothetical problem, with
unknown security problems, unknown user interface problems, and unknown
interoperation problems have no place in a document about actual e-mail
practice.

It's the difference between Best Current Practices and Things We Thought Of
But Haven't Tried Yet. Either could be published as an I-D, but we shouldn't
try to fit both approaches into the same BCP.
Forgot to mention: I'd totally support the creation of a separate draft listing
Things We Thought Of But Haven't Tried Yet, so long as it's clearly labeled.
