NOPE. There are three suggestions so far: XEXDATA, XLMTP, and XPRDR

I favour XPRDR technically (strict timeouts enable tarpitting without 
losing compliant hosts, for example), but XEXDATA has the advantage of 
having an existing implementation. XLMTP has the advantage that LMTP is in 
widespread use, so there's lots of code out there.

I agree with you that we should favour XEXDATA because it's already out 
there, even though I think it is inelegant.

However, I'd also advocate supporting both EXDATA and XPRDR, because that 
might give us code that's flexible enough to be adapted to any similar 
scheme.
