1) Clarify intermediate REPLY codes [SHOULD?/MUST?] be persistent with
   the final REPLY code.  See paragraph in question about ignoring all
   continuation lines.

Did you mean "persistent" or "consistent"?

Oy vey.

I meant persistent (continued) usage of same reply code (meaning retaining
the same value for each line) and I guess, to make sure it is "consistent"
with the final reply code.   Maybe a better word to use is "match?"

    Immediate reply codes [SHOULD?/MUST?] match the final reply code.

Maybe someone else can reword the above.

Anyway, I'm sure John will get it right. :-)
