capabilities

[Neil B. <ne...@cr...>]

Hi,

Another spec question. The RFC say (p.7) that:

	The code 220 is a banner, usually containing host name
	and DICT server version information.

	The second-to-last sequence of characters in the
	banner is the optional capabilities string [...]

From this language it's not clear whether the capabilities
string will always be there, even if empty. Eg

	220 .... <> <278...@di...>

The sample session on p.24 doesn't have a capability string
on the 220 line. Should I be looking at the second-to-last
item on the line, and if it's not enclosed with <>, then
there are no capabilities?

thanks,
Neil
