5321 and 5322 are component specifications, although of course they do have
/some/ systems integrative text. But their attention to implementation issues
is
restricted to the scope of their protocol and format work.
One might wish for a broader, systems oriented document that discusses how the
components fit together and explains where systems-level and end-to-end issues,
such as the one being described here, might get resolved.
Darn. That would probably require normative status for such a document.
Hmmm. I wonder where the closes approximation might be...
