In case it wasn't clear I am *not* proposing that they advance it as an RFC at this point. You don't need an RFC to do an experiment. You just do it.

A registry is useful to keep experiments from accidentally stepping on each other.

With respect to clients, it would take about 10 milliseconds for a bunch of ESPs (bulk senders) to sign up for this. That's not a problem.

R's,

In its current form, it is far too tentative about utility.

1.  It needs to be specific and specify meaningful action
2. It really should have a demonstrated base of interest, to give some indication that returning the code(s) will be useful to at least some client SMTPs.
