I've now had a chance to review smtpupd-10. I've set up a web page at

   http://pobox.com/~djb/proto/smtp/klensin.html

to discuss the document from an engineering perspective. Unfortunately,
almost nothing has been fixed since smtpupd-09. For example, smtpupd-10
still has Klensin's new, disastrously non-interoperable EHLO syntax.

The document also remains flawed from a procedural perspective. For
example, it blatantly violates documented DRUMS consensus.
