A small wordsmithing for this:

      to the MODE STREAM command (or 501 if an argument is given).  The
+-    MODE STREAM command MUST NOT affect the server state in any way (no
+-    mode change), therefore this command MAY be pipelined.  A server
++    MODE STREAM command MUST NOT affect the server state in any way
++    (that is, it is not a mode change despite the name)
++    and therefore MAY be pipelined.  A server
+     MUST NOT require that the MODE STREAM command be issued by the
+     client before accepting the CHECK or TAKETHIS commands.
