It is SSP's way of offering input for use with the receive-side's decision making tree. Receivers can decide whether and how much import to place on such offered input (if any at all). We must resist the tendency to think that doing so is unprecedented (it's not) or somehow out-of-bounds (it isn't).

+1 Very True.

My only comment about this is that I was hoping there would be atleast a "sub-set" of a decision tree that is common to DKIM/SSP receivers as defined or implied by the DKIM/SSP specifications. The goal is to help yield some form of enhanced assurance or purpose for all this. There has to be a firm answer for "Why" this is being offered to customers. Why should they turn it on?
