Whereas SSP began as a simple idea as a means of deciding whether an

While DKIM has the goal of assigning *any* identity to a message, so  
that that identity can be assessed, the current work on SSP is  
attempting to instead validate authorship.

+1. Well stated.

You summarize my recent grouchiness very well. I think that the  
attempt to validate authorship is not only impossible, but a complete  
or incomplete implementation of same is a bad idea.
