Pete,
PR> Why is the CONPERM command necessary? Isn't putting Content-Convert

Without the ESMTP option, SMTP relays must look into the message
content, to determine whether conversion is permitted. Hence we decided
to put a basic permission mechanisn into the explicit transfer
mechanism, with the fine-grained permission detail in the content.
PR> Other than that, it looks like an OK document to me.
thanks!
