Would a possible middle ground be to include a single
well-crafted sentence with an informative citation of
draft-ietf-eai-popimap-downgrade? That document does contain
examples and an explanation of that particular use case.
I'd prefer to avoid that entirely for the same reasons Ned
cites, but it would, IMO, be good to get on with this rather
than quibbling for days or weeks.
