The draft wants to "update" RFC 3028, but this RFC was obsoleted
by RFC 5228.  Good riddance wrt 'reject', reviving this "CANSPAM"
recipe appears to be a bad idea.
The main editor already fixed this in his copy.

LMTP happens after final SMTP delivery.  At this point it is not
more possible to cause a "real" SMTP reject while talking with an
alleged sender.  That is the main issue in this draft.  I'm not
yet convinced that an LMTP "downref" is appropriate or necessary.
I think you are confusing implementation detail with logical architecture: nothing prevents the final SMTP server from passing commands to the LMTP server, before replying to the SMTP client.
