No problem.  (Besides, it was nice to have a delay not of my own making.)

I've done this, but encountered a small question which I will post 
separately.

I have no problem with this.  The revised organization looks like this:

2. Advertising Capabilities with the Extensions Mechanism ...  3
3. Authentication Response Codes ............................  3
4. STARTTLS Command .........................................  4
   4.1. Usage ...............................................  4
   4.2. Description .........................................  4
      4.2.1. Processing After the STARTTLS Command ..........  5
      4.2.2. Result of the STARTTLS Command .................  6
   4.3. Examples ............................................  6
5. Augmented BNF Syntax for STARTTLS ........................  7
6. Security Considerations ..................................  7

Yikes, I hadn't realized there was no Examples section.  I wonder how
that slipped by...

Do the examples need to include the TLS negotiation itself?  If so, can 
someone with the appropriate tools (Ken, perhaps) generate them?
