Proposal: REJECT, but some wording changes may be needed for the
next 
rev, thread is [4] I mainly saw opposition to the change suggested
in
the issue, and little support, but some text clarifying changes
were
suggested (e.g. [5]). [4]

Would you please explain the basis for assessing that this topic
got 
sufficient discussion and that there was rough consensus on it?

See above "I mainly saw..."

Summary of proposal:

All text that causes SSP to be applied to an already-signed message 
needs to be removed.

I would take this further: remove all text that says when to apply
SSP.  Instead, provide text that states the contribution that SSP
can make under different conditions:  mail with valid first-party
signature, mail with valid third-party signature, and mail without
valid signature.
