Hence my asking during the meeting whether we weren't seeking to have random receiving services enforce contractual issues that are internal to the owner of the domain.

It makes enormously good sense for us to seek to rein in rogue independent third parties that have no relationship to the domain owner.

However to ask random recipients to enforce internal policies of the domain owner seems considerably beyond what is reasonable for an Internet scale protocol service.
