It would be nice if people kept using "DATA response" to mean
the response to the "DATA" command, and used something like
"DOT-CRLF response" (or ".CRLF response") to mean the response
to the .CRLF ending the data stream.
The 821 state model says that the DATA command ends with the
.CRLF and that 354 after the verb is transmitted is an
intermediate response, in the middle of the command. So "DATA
response" is ok if you mean "response to the 'DATA' verb", but
"response to the DATA command" is what you call "DOT-CRLF
response" above.
Are we having fun yet?
