The ease of a new option like ":full" for keeping white space makes me

we would need to come up with a more precise name for the match-type.

 if envelope :all :full "lt" "from" "kjetilho(_at_)example(_dot_)com" ...

what is :all and what is :full?  two alternative names are ":verbatim"
and ":compare".

adding a match-type means we would need a new name for the extension, or
perhaps a separate document for it.

Right. If anybody want to pursue that that will be fine with me.

I'm not sure it's worthwhile, as
there is a known workaround for the stripping in the variables case
(prefix both values with non-space) and in the header case I doubt any
script will care.
It seems that the consensus is to keep the current behavior.

Kjetil, can I ask you to add your example how to work-around this issue to the "variables" draft.
After that I will tell Scott that the document is ready for IESG.
