Dave,

My own realization that this is an error only came about from
involvement with a startup for processing subscription bulk mail, a few
years ago.



Being able to admit an error is always a good thing. I'm glad that 
you're sure that you're right now.  

The problem that I see is that there are many possible *uses* for the MAIL
FROM payload. You hold that only one particular use is good and you
deprecate others, to the point of asserting that the RFCs are "wrong". The
rest of us, aiming for interoperability, may choose to take the RFC texts
as our authority in this matter, rather than your opinion.

Regards,
JK
