Mine does, but there probably aren't five people in the world other than me using it. >version alone. Although you're correct that strictly speaking it's >incompatible, it only affects consumers regarding a currently unused >protocol feature. Hmmn. Let's say I have a mail server farm generating 5451 A-R headers and the guy down the hall has a filtering/sorting/delivering farm interpreting them. Then someone shows up with 5451bis. I am a good doobie and update my software to comply with 5451bis which, since I am only using authentication schemes described in 5451, merely involves adding /1 after the authserv-id. I hear the sound of screaming from the other end of the hall as the unexpected slash breaks the filtering. Frankly, I'd lose the slash. Whether or not it was a mistake to leave it out in the first place, adding it now only creates a gratuitous incompatibility.
