This point keeps coming up, so obviously I'm not getting the text right. 
  I'm trying to convey that MODE STREAM is not required in order to 
implement or use this extension.  MODE STREAM is deprecated in favor of 
CAPABILITIES.

Perhaps I should start with:

"If a server supports this extension and the optional MODE STREAM 
command ..."

Russ, can you offer any insight?
