I hope so :-) as I am unable to understand it. To keep the discussion 
rolling ....

I accept I have a very low IQ. I accept I have a real world network user 
oriented vision. But it MAY happen that some readers share that problem, or 
even have a lower IQ or  even are real users and implementors, even that 
some are developpers and need to have a reference book in hands. In a 
document which is to make them  know what the intended neywork building 
block(s) is(are) about, what it/they can do and how it/they is/are to be 
used, it would help to address these points in a way dumb stupid people 
like me understand this is about use-cases.

Case 1 - I am sending a mail
Case 2 - I am receiving a mail
Case 3 - I am operating a MTA business service
Case 4 - I am operating an OPES business service
Case 5 - I am operating a network
Case 6 - I am operating a mailing list
Case 7 - I am designing an MTA

BTW, how many people are we on this WG ?
