This is an example of where there document is going to need a serious terminology scrub, because at least among us old crusty email protocol folks, "relay" means "does not change the destination mailbox". As I read over this message (and the "Forwarding chains" message), it became clear to me that terms are being used differently. I think we should stick as much as possible to the definitions we've used in IETF documents, but I also suspect we may need some new terms to distinguish certain kinds of entities that our current documents don't individuate. Definitely work to be done.
