Yes Andrew, I know. Thank you. Just an informal comment to Kee's comment.

I just thought that, as TRACE always goes with PING, it could be as a parameter instead of a separate flag.
However, a node could perfectly have just the TRACE flag (at least Fmail supports this).

But anyway, it's a bit late :-) and I suppose it's fine like it is.
