This seems like a substantive change in the document and while I think
it is probably right, I think it is sufficiently covered by the first
paragraph of section 7 and I wouldn't want to make this change without
WG approval, not in AUTH48. Arnt: Do you really want to hold up the
document for this?

Hi,
I have reviewed the changes you made; very nice work. Thanks.
I would like to insert one additional paragraph, to clarify a
nonobvious consequence. In section 7, the second-to-last paragraph
starts with "All IMAP servers that support "UTF8=ACCEPT" SHOULD accept
UTF-8 in mailbox names". Please insert the following paragraph after
that paragraph:
Note that when mailbox names comply with with the Net-Unicode
Definition ([RFC5198] as described in the previous paragraph, they
cannot any longer comply with the modified UTF-7 convention described
in [RFC3501]. This implies that once UTF8=ACCEPT is enabled, neither
clients nor servers may send mailbox names using modified UTF-7, they
may only send UTF-8. (The same applies when IMAP4rev2 has been
enabled. "A&-B" is an example that shows the conflict clearly.)
