I'm increasingly getting the impression that we don't
really understand the semantics of SSP.

Here is the current proposed policies: ...

   o=!  EXCLUSIVE (signature required, no 3rd party)

Well, OK.  if a message has both a signature from the From: domain and
one from someone else, does that pass?  Why or why not?


For the EXCLUSIVE policy?  Following SSP, it would be a REJECT because
the policy says no 3PS should exist.   If it does, then it should be
given the evil eye.

That's not what it says. It says:

     "!  All mail from the entity is signed; Third-Party signatures
         SHOULD NOT be accepted"

In the context, it means that it requires a first party signature.
It should probably be more explicit on this point.
