I'm trying to think about what I'll do when DKIM is in wide use, I get
mail from thousands of sources that publish SSP info.  If SSP says "I
sign everything" I have trouble figuring a use for it other than a flat
reject of unsigned messages or at least 4.9 points in a five point
scoring spam filter.  I REALLY do not want an SSP that says "I sign
everything, and here is my estimate on a 0 to 10 scale of how much you
should care."


Right.   SSP stands a much greater chance of being useful if it a) answers
questions we believe the receivers will want to have answered, and b) the
questions pertain to *simple* statements about signer/sender behaviors.

Certainly this kind of minimal model is essential for initial adoption and use.
