I also noticed that this draft still uses terminology, such as "Mail 
Submission Agent", which differs significantly from how it is used in 
RFC 2476.  In 2476, an MSA is in lieu of the first MTA; it is what 
the client connects to in order to submit messages into the SMTP 
delivery network.  In this draft, an MSA is whatever completes a 
message; it may be part of the MUA.

I'd suggest deleting the quoted sentence, and replacing it with "an 
MSA is in lieu of the first MTA; it is what the client connects to in 
order to submit messages into the SMTP delivery network."

Also,

The term you want is "Network Byte Order" , which is Big-Endian.
