I agree. It won't hurt to have it.
My only thought is the consideration on how to help the idea of "auto client
detection" by advertising it more upfront (i.e, greeting).
They may not support this specific proposal from the "complex" standpoint of
the extra requirements, SOLICIT=, Solicitation: header, etc, but they
might use the basic "NO SOLICITATON" seen on the "door" as they pass by the
store, to not enter the store. After all, isn't this one of the basic
premise and human analogy used for this proposal?
Thanks

Mainsleaze only, I think.
So, is there a significant amount of mainsleaze? I think yes. Not major,
but signficicant.
That's just the view from where I'm sitting. If I'm wrong, NO-SOLICITING
at least shouldn't hurt.
