You are describing a mechanism and explaining what it may accomplish
in the narrow terms of the mechanism. This unfortunately has
nothing
to do with claims made within the charter regarding header
authentication.
Lead-in problem statement:

| Forgery of headers that indicate message origin is a problem for
users of

OK I think we are in agreement here. I think that the charter should be
written in terms of
1) Providing a mechanism whereby an Internet domain name owner can claim
responsibility for an email message
2) Provide a mechanism to allow notification of an Internet domain name
owner's policy for claiming accountability
3) Provide an authentication platform on which TTP providers of
accreditation and/or reputation information can build products that are
tied to a domain name rather than an IP address.
Forgery then falls out of the goals section of the charter, it is simply
an attack that might be attempted.
