SMTP was defined as a message *transfer* protocol, that is, a means
   to route (if needed) and deliver finished (complete) messages.
RFC 2476 is to deal with how to sumbit the message to the server. 
IMO, no need to describe the issues related with RFC 2476 in 'smtpext' document 
because 'smtpext' document focus on the message tranfser, not submition.
