I may have overlooked something, but AFAICS the descriptions of VRFY and
EXPN take about 5 pages out of 95. We would need to keep a page or so
for the syntax and basic functionality description, so we save about 4 %
of the total length at the risk of introducing inconsistencies between
the basics in 2821bis and the details in the separate RFC. Doesn't seem
worthwhile to me.
