RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-opes-smtp-use-cases-02.txt

I have no obection to the draft, with the provision that I do not agree with the one/one presentation of SMTP. IMHO figure 1 and 2 should take into consideration the one/many nature of email. My worry is that sometimes the true impact of OPES on the Internet architecture (making the dumb network smart) will be exposed. That day this WG will become very controverted. So, I suggest that we carry the preliminary work in not playing too low key the sources of the future contentions (part 4.7): otherwise we will have to revisit everything under the pressur of new comers.
