Hi Viktor,

many thanks to you for the deep review and thanks to authors for the update.

We are on the late stage of document processing, so, please 
provide a concrete wording that you are happy with.

Again, your suggestion? Remove the ABNF? Or just change RECOMMENDED to MAY 
(or to plain "may")? Please, be more specific.

> The section ends with:

I tend to agree with you here. What authors think?

> The new version then confuses the MIME contexts of HTTPS and Email.

Again, please provide the text. Otherwise the iterations 
update-review may last forever.
