To increase the coverage of pipelining beyond the current ESMTP

This is a fun idea and I have some thoughts that I encourage you to steal
with liberal abandon:

These died on the grounds of being a ridiculously over-engineered paper
protocol. The simpler -a version reduces connection startup time from 9
round trips to 5, not counting any TLS optimizations (see the summaries in
the appendix). The -b version includes a capability cache and stuff I
forget.

On the other hand I think faster message submission is more likely to make
headway as part of JMAP.
