Re: [ietf-dkim] Re: ISSUE 1521 -- Limit the application of SSP to unsigned messages

SSP is about providing the receiver with a means to check whether a required message characteristic is missing.

Um, required by whom or what?

In the case of SSP as currently written the answer is: the domain from whom the message itself claims to originate.

Note though that the question of "required by whom or what" is separate from the assertion that SSP needn't check anywhere for any requirement whatsoever. In fact, we must first agree that SSP is about checking for such a requirement before we can discuss from whom or what. It is this fundamental characteristic of SSP that issue 1521 calls into question.
