[1] [Polymer] NAMESPACE support has a bug, exposed by the UW-IMAP's handling of the MH inbox, where the prefix is NIL.

[2] [Polymer] SSL support is pretty shaky. It's there, but quite possibly not fully working. The real problem is that Polymer cannot easily figure out a URL for message parts, and BURL servers cannot handle them anyway.

[3] [Polymer] And LISTEXT/LIST-EXTENDED CHILDREN return option.
