The premise of the scheme is in the following text:

What this therefore asserts is that the domain name in a From field is
always tied to a fixed set of originating MTAs.
The presumption is incorrect.
For a variety of reasons -- notably for some mobile users -- the
originating MTA may well be unable to know the set of valid domains
sending from it. That is, some mobile users must be able to
spontaneously post through different MTAs.
This highlights an important requirement for evaluating proposals: What
*valid* scenarios does it prevent?
