I don't think line ending is the driving force. CHUNKING is an extension,  
it's not mandatory. I do not see a lot of situations where CHUNKING brings  
much value-added to the equation. Even if CHUNKING is implemented it's still  
necessary to support peers that do not. So, what exactly does CHUNKING give  
me?
If a particular SMTP implementation can use CHUNKING far more efficiently to  
send or receive than without it, then, yes, full speed ahead with CHUNKING.  
But I'm hard pressed to come up with such a scenario. Dot-stuffing is not  
a herculean task.
