It's not, but I could craft one that is.  Right now it seems to me
what's being sought is a second draft, or perhaps a new section in this
one, which creates an ESMTP extension, an IMAP capability and a POP3
capability which support the facilities needed for discovery of the
authserv-id that's in use locally.

Please, let's get this present draft out into the field with the minimal  
alteration, and then consider further enhancements at leisure. If we rush  
into inventing all sorts of SMTP/IMAP/POP3 extensions in a rush, we are  
sure to get it wrong. Let us get the header defined so that people can  
start using it, and providing feedback for what is is good/bad at.
