It's not in my near-term plans. Where are you planning on using it? Are
there some clients that support it?

It may be useful in loaded web-mail applications (base64 decoding implemented in
C is
more cpu/memory efficient than in perl or other web scripting language).

And may be we will use this extension in the webmail for our free-mail service 
(http://mail.rambler.ru)

Popular desktop clients AFAIK don't support rfc3516.

Is it possible to write plugin for support this extension?
