The practices that SSP describe are specific to the RFC2822 From: header field, which defines the author of a message. It does not seek to describe practices of other agents in email handling.

As such, the name of the specification should reflect its precise scope. The current name of "Sender" Signing Practices is imprecise and misleading.

The name should be changed to Author Signing Practices (ASP).

+1, but given that we have a WG draft called SSP and an individual draft called ASP which, I understand, is also under active revision I would not support this until the name change would not introduce confusion, i.e., when there is not active discussion about a draft of the same name as we would use.

+1.
