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...
