Did you understand what I meant when I mentioned gateways ?

As example, "s=SMTP:-UUCP:!*" would mean this domain only uses
SMTP and UUCP to exchange messages, but that this policy does
not apply to UUCP.

For a verifier at an MTA it is irrelevant how the message might
have started, if it arrives as "mail" (likely SMTP) it is "mail",
and a From header field is a From header field without studying
the fine print in RFC 4356, RFC.usefor-usefor, RFC 976, etc.

RFC 976 has status "unknown", this means MAJOR TROUBLE.  I just
read John's appeal against the first RFC 4356 attempt again, it
was a disaster... <shudder />

policy-s-tag  = 
     %x73 [FWS] "=" [FWS][exclude|disavow] policy-s-tag-type

No more [FWS] in SSP-02. it's now *WSP.  It's now clear that
net-utf8 sticks to "disavow" HT, maybe SSP-03 should say *SP.
