RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-opes-smtp-use-cases-02.txt

I have no obection to the draft, with the provision that I do not agree 
with the one/one presentation of SMTP. IMHO figure 1 and 2 should take into 
consideration the one/many nature of email. My worry is that sometimes the 
true impact of OPES on the Internet architecture (making the dumb network 
smart) will be exposed. That day this WG will become very controverted. So, 
I suggest that we carry the preliminary work in not playing too low key the 
sources of the future contentions (part 4.7): otherwise we will have to 
revisit everything under the pressur of new comers.
