Hi Roni,

I was referring to section 4.1.2 of RFC 2026
"The requirement for at least two independent and interoperable
implementations applies to all of the options and features of the
specification. In cases in which one or more options or features
have not been demonstrated in at least two interoperable
implementations, the specification may advance to the Draft Standard
level only if those options or features are removed."
RFC 2821 was published as Proposed Standard. RFC 5321 is the Draft
Standard and it obsoletes RFC 2821. The text you quoted from Section
4.1.2 is about advancement to Draft Standard, i.e. from RFC 2821 to
RFC 5321. If it is the consensus of the IETF, the revision of RFC
5321 will be the Internet Standard (Full Standard) and it will
replace STD 10. Section 4.1.3 is applicable.
And now, the obligatory quote:
"Ed Jankiewicz pointed out that the Vatican named more saints
this year [2009] than the IETF named Full Standards. The
Vatican doesn't make saints, they recognize saints on their
own merits."
