I know I don't want to take on the argument of which is reasonable so
applying guidance for both and for clients in the face of both is
important. Particularly for whether or not you protect the Subject line
and how at all to limit length, and or resign. There are some serious
UI issues there.
The very early thinking back at DK-00 was that a participating list
might sign List-ID. The idea being that List traffic is distinctly
different and that a verifier/UA might sensibly treat such traffic
differently in the presence of a List-ID. Subsequent revisions went
down the path of generalizing that to Sender.
In retrospect, I'm not sure I'm a fan of that generalization as List
traffic is so different that it need not be squeezed into a
generalized category that otherwise is almost completely absent in
real-life traffic.
