Correct, that meaning was derived from the two-step method.  Since we
changed our mind on the method, as well as on yam itself, we could as
well change the destiny of that draft and publish it.  I think it will
take less than an hour to amend the abstract by replacing that
restriction with an explicative paragraph.  The WG and the IESG
already approved that document, so it can go to the RFC editor
directly, AFAICS.

Getting the document together roughly took the time from John's
setting aside his rfc5321-numbered on 14 Dec 2008, through first
pre-evaluation version on 12 Nov 2009, to IESG's approval announced on
26 May 2010.  I see no need to rot it away.
