Mike is entirely right. SSP is dead-on-arrival and we've all completely wasted our time if this proposal is allowed to stand and here's why:

SSP is about providing the receiver with a means to check whether a required message characteristic is missing. SSP settles on 4871 for the "characteristic" and a From: header domain check for the "required". If we remove the "required" we're left only with the bare "characteristic" which tells us nothing useful except in cases where there's a preexisting trust.
