(Apologies if this was already reported. I didn't see it in a quick scan
of the archives.)
There appears to be an editing error in section 4.1 of draft 13; there are
two versions of what appears to be the same paragraph, one after another,
like new wording was added and the old wording wasn't removed:
The server MUST respond to any command with the appropriate
generic response (given in section 4.1.1) if it represents the
situation. Otherwise, each recognized command MUST return one
of the response codes specifically listed in its description
or in an extension. A server MAY provide extensions to this
specification, including new commands, new features of
existing commands, and other ways of changing the internal
state of the server. However, the server MUST NOT produce any
other responses to a client that does not invoke any of the
additional features. (Therefore a client that restricts itself
to this specification will only receive the responses that are
listed).
followed by
Each recognized command MUST return 501 (as above) or one of
the response codes specifically listed in its description or
in an extension. A server MAY provide extensions to this
specification, including new commands, new features of
existing commands, and other ways of changing the internal
state of the server. However, the server MUST NOT produce any
other responses to a client that does not invoke any of the
additional features. (Therefore a client that restricts itself
to this specification will only receive the responses that are
listed).
I believe the second paragraph is obsolete and should be removed.
