Thanks for info, I wasn't aware of that possibility.  Maybe
it is unnecessary to have the LMTP reference as "normative",
but based on your info I agree that a "downref" is no issue.

Possible in theory.  In practice unless and MTA's internal architecture is 
designd for this it would likely require substantial redesign to do so.

Isn't SMTP supposed to be store-and-forward?  I'm not sure if it's the case 
here, but if we are tampering with the store-and-forward paradigm, I think 
it's problematic.
