That's true, but I don't see what difference that makes. The usefor 
document can redefine whatever it likes (including id-left and 
id-right). There's no harm if 5322 defines:

msg-id-core = id-left "@" id-right

Please someone, explain the objection to using msg-id-core. 
Otherwise, I see no reason not to use it.

Do we have an example of someone wanting to use this?

Also, does adding it also mean that we should remove the last 
sentence of 3.6.4? "Semantically, the angle bracket characters are 
not part of the msg-id; the msg-id is what is contained between the 
two angle bracket characters."

This change is making me increasingly worried. Are we sure we want to do this?
