Section 6.4.8 the UID command says:

      The number after the "*" in an untagged FETCH response is always a
      message sequence number, not a unique identifier, even for a UID
      command response.  However, server implementations MUST implicitly
      include the UID message data item as part of any FETCH response
      caused by a UID command, regardless of whether a UID was specified
      as a message data item to the FETCH.


My question is simply, why?  Why is the sequence number needed when the 
command
specified a UID, and the UID must be included in the response.  Seems to 
me the UID
command should have a UID response.
