Having the ADSP specification include normative text that calls for

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).
I could easily put this another way: we are making use of a DNS
facility. "Coupling" usually implies some sort of bidirectional
dependency. There is none here.
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.
Perhaps so, but since everyone has agreed this is a good idea, what is
the harm?
