I think that, for implementors and adopters alike, a

STD-10 / IETF-EMAIL pointer should be changed from RFC-821
to RFC-2821. But that's a bigger can of worms.
BTW, can anyone point me to documentation of previous
attempts to solve that bigger can of worms?
The archives and meeting notes from the late NEWTRK working group should
prove interesting, albeit not uplifting, reading.
In particular, draft-ietf-newtrk-repurposing-isd and
draft-otis-newtrk-rfc-set should be entertaining.
The WG was shut down without reaching a conclusion.
