A typical scenario involves leaving a client running on your computer at
work, and using another client to connect to the same server on the days
when you're working at home or travelling or otherwise need to read work
mail from outside the office.

I'm afraid I don't understand your point. IMAP clients must be written
to deal with the requirements of the IMAP protocol. RFC 2180 is merely
a description of reasonable server behaviour; it adds no possibilities
that a client is not already required to handle.

That's exactly what RFC 2180 does.
