It's somewhat temping to add some sort of "the MXes pointing

specification, but since it's not a limit it doesn't really
fit. If done it needs to be a separate EHLO announcement.

Ned, Laura,

Just a thought, based on little thinking and less information:
Are there any plausible circumstances in which a system might
want to encourage rolling up a few MXs but not very many?

I can’t think of any off the top of my head. I think you’d either want 
everything rolled up or nothing. But I’m not handling large incoming volumes, 
so there may be. 

 If
so, that would turn it into a limit, rather than requiring a
separate announcement keyword.  I'm having trouble imagining
such a case, so, if the answer is "no", don't bother with a
detailed explanation.   However, because I think there is value
in minimizing the number of announcements, the question seems
worth asking.

I would agree with you here.
