I agree that getting authentication into the email protocols is a good
thing, but TLS does not achieve much more than SPF/Sender-ID in that
respect. DKIM is a much better platform.

Not clear.  [a summary of the status of DKIM that I generally agree with]

I think DKIM is fixable, but if it stays in its current form it will 
only delay adoption of effective anti-phishing and anti-spam solutions 
by a few more years.

What would those "effective anti-phishing and anti-spam solutions" be?
I guess by "effective" I include the requirement of fairly rapid
adoption, which kind of rules out things like PGP and S/MIME.
