I am OK for alst call with the whole document except one security 
related point.

section 4.
I think that MUSTs should be replaced by SHOULDs.
section 5.
We should mention that there is a security problem of these SHOULDs 
are not enforced.

The reason why is to permit OPES applications where there is no trace 
on mails. In particular for reverse security reasons (I do not want 
to disclose my protection strategy to protect it).
