I have to say I'm always amused when this happens: Wording which was good
enough to be published in one RFC doesn't pass muster when reused.

Paul Hoffman (RFC 3207's author) just clarified this for me :-).  No revision is needed from my view point now.  (If you do want to make a change, perhaps revising along the lines of "when the client itself received them" or "when the client originally received them" to bring out the receive/forward aspect might help folks like me).

thanks and regards,
