An RFC that updates another one makes a “must incorporate” change to the original specification. RFC 6531 does not update RFC 5321, it describes a new, optional capability that’s described as an extension in the very title of the RFC. That’s why I believe that the original text in 6531 is misleading and why I submitted the report. The correction should help make it clear that the extension does not formally update RFC 5321.

The following ABNF rules imported from RFC 5321, Section 4.1.2, are updated directly or indirectly by this document: This document updates <Mailbox> and <Domain> to support non-ASCII characters. Corrected Text -------------- The <Mailbox> ABNF rule is imported from RFC 5321 and extended in order to support the internationalized email address. The following ABNF rules imported from RFC 5321, Section 4.1.2, are extended directly or indirectly by this document: This document extends <Mailbox> and <Domain> to support non-ASCII characters. Notes ----- The original text can be incorrectly interpreted to suggest that the definitions found in RFC 6531 formally update the definitions found in RFC 5321. RFC 6531 does not formally update RFC 5321. As such, a word like "extends" may be less prone to misinterpretation than "updates". -------------------------------------- RFC6531 (draft-ietf-eai-rfc5336bis-16) -------------------------------------- Title : SMTP Extension for Internationalized Email Publication Date : February 2012 Author(s) : J.
