Hi Barry, Dave, and Alexey,

Actually, I think I convinced Barry that it is updating RFC 2683.
Yes: because the new line-length-limit recommendation is meant to
apply whether or not condstore or qresync are in play, this "updates"
remains (it's the others that used to be there that we scrubbed).

I think David's right that some version of what Eliot said:

there
is a requirement for strict syntax parsing.  If the client blows it in
any way, the server SHOULD return an error with a BAD response.
...should be added to the section about the line-length limit.  A
sentence or two should do nicely.



I don't see a problem, but for context I was really just borrowing from
RFC 3501, which already states that SHOULD (Section 2.2 if memory
serves).  Stating it again won't hurt.
