I didn't mean that RFC2821 modifies HELO.  I am saying that RFC2821
has an implicit "or HELO" every time the reader sees "EHLO", unless
it is made clear that the RFC only talks about the new form.

And RFC2821 _DOES_ define HELO, as the document is "a self-contained
specification" which "obsoletes RFC 821".

Read the abstract in RFC 2821.

(Yes, I do recognize the difference between syntax and semantics.)

If RFC 2821 doesn't modify the semantics of HELO as defined in RFC 821, 
then are you saying that RFC 821 _already_ required the argument to HELO 
to be a valid FQDN?

If that's what you're saying, then we'll have to agree to disagree, 
because while RFC 821 may have some fuzzy and suggestive statements about 
HELO, I just don't see it making any clear and strict requirements of 
HELO.
