The receiver might read it as "sender doesn't care whether the 
mail gets delivered".


While there might be some domains that take that stance I wouldn't
expect "mainstream domains" to take that stance. I expect financial
institutions to be somewhat early adopters and any ISP/mailbox provider
that decides discardable means don't bother trying to deliver the mail
should be prepared to beef up their Customer Service staff to handle
complaints.

There is a significant difference between sendedr saying "I recognize
that a fraction of a percent of legitimate mail might not get delivered
if my assertion is followed" and "sender doesn't care whether the mail
gets delivered".
