Ignoring motivation was appropriate for Milestone 1, which was
concerned with ensuring a lack of ambiguity in RFC 7489, which has a
well-defined set of requirements.

But we are now looking at "next steps", ie, a new set of requirements,
because implementing the RFC 7489 requirements turned out to be
insufficient to enable many use cases people participating in this WG
care about, and to have some rather nasty side effects in combination
with preexisting systems.  I think discussion of motivation and agent
(not limited to mail recipients) behavior is exactly what is needed at
this stage, even if it's rather speculative and not founded in formal
user interface research.
