Are you still spouting that fake news?  Both REPLY and MSGID are
optional.  One can use use MSGID or not.  One can use REPLY only if the
message being replied to has a MSGID, but is not required to do so.
*IF* one uses them, they must be in the format and specification
contained in FTS-0009.  To quote:

Implementation of the protocols defined in this document is not
mandatory,  but all implementations of these protocols are expected to
adhere to this standard.

Note the words "protocols" (plural) and "these" (also plural).  It is
not a single protocol, but two separate protocols.
