Based on my chats with Sam over the years, the primary barrier isn't 
RFC-writing 
OR coding - even coding that could shift between / among more than one 'flavor' 
of implementation.

It's simple wearinesss....

More folks seem to care about *preventing* per-recipient DATA-phase capability 
- 
ELSE discussing it to death - than care about JF having SOME form  - ANY form - 
of it. The minute there is a hint of movement, they show up and pile on to 
prevent....

Sam's response appears to have been to take the approx 12-year-old dates off 
his 
draft RFC and make it available for anyone who still has the energy to carry on 
the fight...

After all - the majority of smtp traffic is on GPL'ed MTA written in C ..and 
appropriate code is published that would not require rocket science to port 
between and among them.

Easiest, of ourse, would be the merge-in of lmtp ...

If, as, when anoyone actually gives a Massatwoshits...

Don't hold your breath while waiting...
