I would rather use the proposed surrounder pair as
demonstrated above (353/.../250, with per-RCPT responses in
between). That isn't radically different from the asymmetrical
stuff we see with pipelining or auth.

Actually, yes it is, especially given operational experience
with clients that won't even accept a multiline response in that
situation but are sure that the only possible responses are:

        * (250) Data accepted.
        
        * (anything else) Transmission/receipt failure, please
        requeue mail.
