I propose that the side advocating removal of the NXDOMAIN check agree

Having the ADSP specification include normative text that calls for
validating
the From field domain name does two things:
1. Couples an entirely separate and more generally useful mechanism (checking
domain name validity) to one that is considerably more limited (ADSP).
2. Modifies SMTP. (Yes, really.)
Having non-normative text that describes it serves to promote the idea but
not
couple it with the fate of ADSP.
Instead of discussing how many angels fit on a pinhead, I suggest
that we do something sensible, like: ADSP is bound to DNS, and
therefore it's defined only for author domains that exist in DNS.
