Hi Mark,
I've just reread section 7 of -19 and found some relatively minor things 
that need fixing:

As per your recent suggestion in the IMAPEXT WG, the COMPARATOR 
extension was renamed to I18NLEVEL=2.
The last sentence in section 1 needs to be updated as well.

I think you also mean that support for at least I18NLEVEL=1 is REQUIREd.

The last sentence contradict the second paragraph quoted above. I think 
you forgot to delete it in -19.
If for some reason you want to keep it, then please change 
"en;ascii-casemap" to "i;ascii-casemap", as "en;ascii-casemap" is invalid.

I can recommend some replacement text, if you want.
