---------------
If we go too quickly through triage of some issues, here are some others that
we can discuss:

G.10.  Internationalization Consideration section needed?

G.5.  Remove or deprecate the work-around from code 552 to 452

   The suggestion in Section 4.5.3.1.10 may have outlived its usefulness
   and/or be inconsistent with current practice.  Should it be removed
   and/or explicitly deprecated?

G.7.1.  Issues with 521, 554, and 556 codes

   See new Section 4.2.4.2.  More text may be needed, there or
   elsewhere, about choices of codes in response to initial opening and
   to EHLO, especially to deal with selective policy rejections.
