Yes, we managed to get more changed in RFC 2822-bis than we could ever
have expected.

I still think that, now 2822bis has been accepted by the IETF and will
presumably become a Draft Standard, we should revisit USEFOR and rebase it
on 2822-bis (firmly resiting all temptations to make any technical
changes). It should be quite straightforward, and if Ken is not
able/willing to do it, then I will volunteer. Ken?
