I'm sorry to spoil it for everyone that the word is "The" :P

Sigh.  Nope.

TCP-info variant of Extended-Domain in the By-domain expansion of Stamp.
While the Domain part of that ABNF doesn't describe how it's supposed to
be derived from "Information derived by server from TCP connection" for
the BY clause specifically, i think using it for SNI is entirely
reasonable.

Right. As far as I can tell, it's there for symmetry with the FROM clause where the first domain is the HELO/EHLO and the second is the rDNS for the connecting IP. I don't think I've ever seen the second name used in the BY clause.

I know that you're frustrated, but please be gentler with people who
don't have as much in-depth knowledge of the RFCs as you do.

Wait a minute -- this is the UTA working group of the IETF. The point of this group is to revise and extend and update and write RFCs. If people can't be bothered to read the RFCs they're purportedly working on, why are they here? I realize that some of the RFCs are long, but they have tables of contents. It's not hard to check the syntax of something rather than guessing and wasting everyone's time. I checked the syntax in RFCs 5321, 5322, and 8314 before I asked my question, and other people can too.
