Thank you Vivek for quoting the magic words. Sorry to be so
tardy, I have been out of the office.

This change was a late entry in RFC 3101 that was added shortly
before its last call. It was not in RFC 1587. For any folk who
are/have upgraded RFC 1587 implementations make sure this is
added. RFC 3101 is much more than new feature. It has closed a
number of bugs.
