I concur.

I don't think the level of "affiliation" or "relevance" of a planned page 
should be the basis for the decision whether to make it a community page 
or not.  The most important criterion really is whether the page net- 
benefits from being able to be edited by everyone who comes by.  IMO most 
technical pages, including the "SMTP Authentication" page, do NOT net- 
benefit from that.

We should simply try to restrict the page to information that is _relevant_ 
for people being able to understand and use SMTP AUTH in combination with 
SPF (it's a companion technology to SPF, just as SRS/SES are, regardless 
of who developed them).  Then I don't think there's any need to make that 
page appear "less official" than the rest of the site.
