MAY means: arbitrary lines may get a dash-escape, others do not.
so how do you manage to recognise which leading "- " were there
before encoding and which were not, without looking at the
following text?
This is not correct. The MAY is for additional lines, after the
regular "-" encoding is done.
To be clear, the current rule is:
1) Escape any lines beginning with '-'.
There is also an undocumented rule #2:
2) Escape any lines beginning with "From".
The proposed change is:
1) Escape any lines beginning with "-".
2) Escape any other lines you want.
The only change is in #2.
