My understanding from your email and from a glance at
draft-melnikov-smime-msa-to-mda is that the proposed "submit" scheme is
not currently widely deployed, and hence the actual name is flexible.
My feedback is that the name "submit" is not a good name for the proposed use.
Specifically, RFC 4395 states:
Avoid using names that are either very general purpose or associated
in the community with some other application or protocol.
There are many types of things you can "submit" (HTTP forms, etc.)
and since the proposed use here is specific to specific to SMTP, it should
not use a general purpose word like "submit" along.
"smtpsubmit" or similar would be much more appropriate.
I hope that whichever keyword is used, it is clearly
distinguished from "mailto".
I know I'm a bit confused about this proposal. Is "submit"
intended to be a lower abstraction level? Or a replacement?
