If you do LIST "" %, you'll see "foo" as \NoSelect folder. Maybe the 
RFC tries to say that.

Anyway, I don't think there is any point to leave it as \NoSelect 
folder. You can already create "foo/bar" directly, and CREATE 
explanation doesn't require that "foo" must be shown as \NoSelect with 
LIST *. Besides, there is no way to create a \NoSelect folder with 
Maildir++.

I'll anyway ask in imap list to make sure :)
