No point at all, that is what we are supposed to be doing here, defining
policy then hashing out what that policy clearly means with a consensus
of the WG. I don't want to be on a technical call 2 years from now
discussing what the policy means like I had to do with WICIS. Lets set
an agreeable policy, discuss what it means (like the statement below)
and the write the document with the clear expectation of what it means.
1. I sign all
The above means "I sign everything so please discard unsigned mail
apparently from me"
There, one policy statement done.

Your assertion in the subject is an opinion. I find the statement
below
to be useful.
I think we have a subtle point here.
"I sign everything so please discard unsigned mail apparently from me"
could be useful to recipients.
Plain "I sign everything" isn't.
R's,
John

"I sign all": Your users and my business may be harmed by accepting
unverified mail claiming to originate from my domain. It is in our
mutual interest for you to not deliver such mail to your users.
I am an adult of voting age and accept the possibility that
deliverability of my traffic may reduce as a consequence.
If "I sign all" means anything at all, this is what it means.
R's,
John
