Submission can excuse all sorts of antique stuff that SMTP wouldn't.
Given that there has already been a vigorous effort to demand much more
stringent (security-related) efforts in the operation of MTAs, it's
certainly worth considering application of that demand to this revision
effort.
The question should be what the driving criteria are. The follow-on

Over the last week, I've found myself increasingly thinking that an
effort to simplify and focus the document, as much as possible, would be
especially helpful, notably distinguishing more general email 'systems'
discussion from the specific transfer functionality that is SMTP's domain.
