Timo,
Thanks for bringing it up.
I dealt with i18n MUA. I would love to see i18n from IMAPEXT
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5255.txt) be part of IMAP5, the mechanism,
not all language translations, of course :)
And I guess no MUA needs to 'ENABLE' anything in IMAP5.

PS. I had subscribed to the mailing list :)

Subject: [MORG] IMAP5 List
At the MORG BOF, a discussion as to if the proposed IMAP extensions
would merely further add to the existing problem with IMAP being too
hard to get right, for both clients and servers, let to a revival of
the "IMAP5" discussion (previous held during the IMAP EAI
discussions). Here, "IMAP5" refers to a Big Switch (new port and
version) to distinguish this revision from current IMAP. The goal is
to delete as much as possible from IMAP.
A new mailing list now exists for this discussion on drastically
slimming-down IMAP to make it easier to implement clients and servers.

It's been observed that "most IMAP clients suck" and that it's hard
for both clients and servers to implement.
One reason IMAP is hard to implement is that it has a lot of options.
Often there are several alternative ways to accomplish something. It
also has considerable functionality.
Is it possible and desirable to start with the current set of (IMAP +
all extensions) and consider subtracting as much as possible? The
resulting protocol would still be IMAP, but not backwards-compatible
with today's IMAP, since some currently-mandated items are likely to
be deleted.
