Sorry, wrong venue. The discussion is on the ietf-smtp mailing list, but 
the request for others to participate remains!

Already proposed on the IETF list and in private interactions
with the ADs.  It is probably a good sign that several of us
seem to be reaching similar conclusions.

In this regard I think that something like Hector's "practitioner's guide"
(probably as a BCP rather than a protocol standard) would be immensely
helpful and meet this need. Maybe we need to look for making a trilogy of
docs rather than just a duet: *21, *22, *23 :-)

Unfortunately, 7960 does not explicitly update 5598, so that
relationship is difficult for anyone not heavily involved to
discover (that neither Dave nor I was aware of the relationship
is probably symptomatic).  This may eventually call for an
update that replaces both documents or may further justify a
more or less comprehensive Applicability Statement for the core
email protocols.  Given that neither is Standards Track, it is
not clear what aspects of them require incorporation into
5321bis and/or 5322bis.  If we are going to open the latter
documents, I look forward to that discussion at the appropriate
time.

ahh. thanks.

It will help to have folk comment on the IETF mailing list, so that 
Klensin's comments don't just get responses from me.

There's also already RFC7960 which expands upon 5598 with specific
reference to DMARC's impact.
