I'll look at RFCs 5536 and 5537 when I have the time.

Meanwhile, when you have the time, here is the bug report.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=718342

and here is the m.d.a.thunderbird discussion.

I won't post the links to the GNKSA. Anyone interested can follow those
from the discussion.

There is also a mention of RFC 1036, which I will peruse at my leisure,
which I see is made obsolete by RFC 5536 and 5537, and not mentioned in
the discussion.

Maybe you would like to "Followup" to that newsgroup post, and point
that out?
