Breaks current practices.

This may be so. However, at a BoF in Montreal, Craig Spiezle said banks
were asking Microsoft to NOT DELIVER messages that failed SenderID
checks. I do believe he said the banks understood that may mean some
legitimate mail may not be delivered.

This is meant as a simple data point and nothing more.

The desire would be to mark or refuse messages that don't meet a binding requirement, which essentially means the same thing, avoiding a fair amount of overhead without exposure to unfair reputation practices. At the MDA, only those bindings that can be automatically established would be cached for a signed message authoritative for email-addresses within that domain. There could also be a means to limit authority permitted a class of keys. Details are covered in the two drafts for mass and dkim at:
