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."


I assume that you'd complain if it boiled down to a single bit?

0: "mail from this domain may transit manglers, adjust accordingly"


0: "I sign some mail"


Incorrect. They are *not* the same statement. "some" may mean
in reality (and often does) "none". Versus our domain signing every
piece of legitimate mail even if some of the signatures get broken
due to mailing lists.

1: "the signature should always be intact"


1: "I sign all mail"

No. "I sign all mail" is merely a statement of fact. "should always be intact"
is predictive. They are *not* the same.
