Annoyingly Apple implemented burl for postfix, submitted the patch, but 
Wietse declined it (for reasons I would need to remind myself of - I 
think some implementation concerns, but mainly "who is using it, lets 
see the clients first")

I would also be very interested to see BURL support appear.  It appears 
to offer bandwidth reductions (my customers are all on slow dialup 
links), and at least some apple clients (IOS?) support it
