RFC for blockchain-email

Hi everyone.

I would like to create an internet standard(RFC) for blockchain email. Can you help me? So... Initially, I think about turning this thesis into an RFC standard, so any blockchain email service should follow these guidelines.

It is not something imposed, it would be something open... that is, it is a guide or standard for software development and not a general rule to be followed. A good example of this is commonmark which is an implementation independent of the markdown implementation. The difference between implementing markdown and commonmark, is some syntax and general goals.

In the same way that I explained the difference between commonmark to markdown, there would be a difference between mailcoin to lemon.email implementation etc, which are ways to implement blockchain-mail. So... What I'm talking about here would be a common-blockchain-email, that is, a minimal and usable implementation of the email-blockchain based from mailcoin.
