This document effectively says that all users are to send their email by 
relaying it through their ISP SUBMIT service (not only home but also while
traveling) rather then make attempts to do it directly.

I entirely agree with such system, but I just want to make sure everyone 
is aware that is an intent that specifies consensus of the community as
previously there has been a lot of disagreements to making restrictions to 
roaming users of this nature (starting with debates about when open relays 
were closed few years back).
