  I think the draft is a little bit unclear as to how new auth's can
be published. Perhaps the draft should include a section that could
be used as a template for future drafts about new Auth fields. (Maybe
this is in the latest draft, I'm just rereading it, first time since
the June timeframe)

  I would second this.
  However, this conversation is several times more than what has been 
discussed to date on the list. 
  Does it seem an unreasonable thing to have *some* sample code by Memphis?
  It would be nice for the proponents of binary/S-expr/rfc822 formats
to just *compare* the complexity of their parsing code.
  I favour a format that I can compose in my editor, but with well
defined lengths. If all my input is printable (for whatever definition
of printable), then the output is printable. But that doesn't equal
rfc822 which may require specific quoting rules for non-Latin-1 alphabets.
