RFC1894 
is for MTAs. The UA generates only the request. The MTA generates the 
response. Dr. QMail dismisses rfc1894 as entirely obsolete. DJBernstien 
has his own method but, AFAIK, he didn't write an RFC, so chances of a 
standard emerging from 'The QMail Way' are somehwat difficult to 
prognosticate. 

Frankly no one is much interested in RFC1894 - I think sendmail does at
least partially implement it (which is a shame - it legitimises it), but
the other mainstream mailers give it a wide berth.  Here's a quote from
the exim list:-
