Dan,

I think I'm down to real nit-picking on this draft now, so a few trivial
points for you to consider...

1.  Abstract

This memo defines an extension to SMTP [RFC821] which provides a
mechanism for immediate message delivery over ESMTP, bypassing SMTP's
normal store-and-forward behavior.

>>>
I note that you are also citing a document from the new DRUMS
(work-in-progress) series: would it be appropriate to be consistently cite
the DRUMs work OR the original RFC 821/822 documents?

2.  Introduction

Historically, SMTP [RFC821, RFC822] and [SMTP-EXT] have been used for
store and forward delivery of messages.  This draft defines a new
transport mode for ESMTP delivery known as SESSION.  When SESSION is
used, the ESMTP server delivers the message before the ESMTP client
disconnects from it.

>>>
I note that you cite [RFC822], but as far as I can tell your draft stands
independently of the format of the messages that are transferred.
