As I said, I'm going to do the Bounce-handler. That is actually the only
reason why I've been reading the RFCs carefully enough to notice those 
obscure details related to what you rightly call "corner-case RFC grey-area
compliance".

Ok, will do, (at least if I don't forget:). I'll look at the next snapshot
which you put out, assume that any aspect of corner-case RFC compliance
which is not in the snap-shot is something which you'll not have time to
do, and try to document those instances which I'll notice.
