That is a good question.

Since what we are constructing is an Experimental Protocol, which cannot  
change any existing standard, then I think the answer has to be 'No'. We  
define a new protocol which is based on RFC 2822 with various extensions.  
Maybe one day it becomes a proposed standard, at which point it may well  
be said to update 2822.
