Fleshing out IM2000

These are a set of proposals for fleshing out the IM2000 system that is partially outlined by Dan Bernstein.

Design principles of IM2000
The architecture of IM2000
Case studies of IM2000 in action
How IM2000 counteracts the problem of unsolicited bulk mail
Constructing shims to allow old SMTP/POP3 MUAs to interact with IM2000
Dan Bernstein's questions answered
Differences from SMTP-based Internet mail that you will notice
Migrating to IM2000

I'm interested in feedback from people implementing these proposals; especially with respect to

problems experienced with codecs derived from the given definitions, and
any ambiguities in the specifications.

However, because this is an idea whose time has come, it is best that all feedback be given via the IM2000 discussion forum rather than directly to me. There's irony here.
