Unless betting for minor sums such as a beer or a happy meal, I generally won't get into RFC compliance arguments with DFS. My reading was similar though there are some other RFCs that extend SMTP and say things like "if you use ESMTP, you have to add with ESMTP to the received headers".
The following is about ESMTP: "For instance, servers MUST support the EHLO command even if they do not implement any specific extensions and clients SHOULD preferentially utilize EHLO rather than HELO." Regards, -sm
