ALmost. The ADSP draft could recommend the support for SMTP at the From  
domain
be confirmed before accepting messages by sites who claimed to be  
Verifiers of ADSP/DKIM (because those sites are the only ones that could  
be considered "our customers").

BUT it could also add, parenthetically, this this particular practice was  
often regarded as beneficial even by sites not claiming to do such  
verification.
