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.
Jon,
Please translate your grouchiness into concrete suggestions on what
if anything should change in draft. There are so many different issues
being discussed here that your +1 one is essentially useless because
it doesn't track to anything actionable.
