I need to, but I can't. The RFC2307 schema misses that, and my questions about

What I'm doing for now is listing all uidnumbers and parsing the output with
a shell script (!).

I would love to and I'm about to throw in the towel and "break" this standard
schema by adding this (and other) rules. A broken or difficult standard is of
no use.
