nntp-extensions Anti-spam NNTP extension draft

Hi.  In section 2.2, why is no response sent back?  I am not sure if
leaving the lock step approach is a good idea.  If latency is an issue, I
wonder if the following should be done instead or available as an
alternative.: 

>> FILTER filter-tag                      [similar to post]
<< nnn Ok             (or "nnn fail")     [ack/nack filter request]
>> <message-id>                           [ids to filter...]
>> <message-id>
>> <message-id>
[...]
>> <message-id>
>> <message-id>
>> <message-id>
>> .                                      [indicate completion, like post]
<< nnn Ok             (or "nnn fail")     [ack/nack completion]

Assuming there are multiple message-ids per filter-tag, this would
decrease the number of bytes exchanged.
