I see that SIZE was a "limit" handled previously in RFC1870. However, when reading that limit, I don't see any language as present in this document about new SIZE limits after authentication. Is that something appropriate to add to this document? I don't see another document that updates 1870 for this?

Would it make sense to also fold in SIZE into this new limit syntax in the hopes of perhaps obsoleting the SIZE extension as a separate extension a decade from now ?

** Section 6.  Editorial.  In the spirit of inclusive language consider s/A man-in-the-middle attack/An on-path attack/

** Section 6.
   All that said, decades of operational experience with the SMTP "SIZE"
   extension [SIZE], which provides servers with the ability to indicate
   message size, indicates that such abuse is rare and unlikely to be a
   significant problem.

Consider adding that opportunistic encryption/STARTTLS would also help mitigate on-path tampering of these values.

John, thank you for shepherding Ned's document through to RFC.

I have one very minor nit, which is a typo on 'Regisry' in section 7.1.

Regards,
Rob
