Could I ask the list sergeant-at-arms consider remonstrating with the poster below on the content of his posts and, if not satisfied with the response, initiate a posting restriction action.

Thanks - Mike

Sorry I donot have time to change the subject. Can Protocol become
science. Our understanding of the problem domain is incorrect.
Pl refer the attached provisional patent application.

I am on the protest at 3245 NW 31st Terr Oakland Park FL 33309.

I am facing lot of issues. Pl help me. I will provide the patent
details in the next email, if I am okay.

I wanted to make protocol as science.We need to stop working on flurry
of the documents. When I was working on Cashless Economy, the money
earned I wanted to fund this. But I am stuck with big powers so I am
left with no other choice to fight this battle in court.

Thanks

I support this document going forward.  Below I suggest four improvements to 
the document.

(1)  In Introduction says:

    Note that this document doesn't apply to use of TLS in MTA-to-MTA
    SMTP.

Can this be enhanced to include a pointer to where this can be found?


(2)  The next paragraph in the Introduction says:

    The main goal of the document is to provide consistent TLS server
    identity verification procedure across multiple email related
    protocols.

Since this is a standards-track document, I think it would be better to say:

    This document provides a consistent TLS server identity
    verification procedure across multiple email related protocols.


(3)  Section 2 does a lot by reference, which is fine.  I think it would help 
the reader to duplicate a bit of context from RFC 6125, in particular repeating 
the definitions of CN-ID, DNS-ID, and SRV-ID.


(4)  Section 3 needs to state first that the certificate passes certification 
path validation as described in Section 6 of RFC 5280, and second passes the 
email-specific rules in this section.
