The major changes since -02 are:

* don't try to define our own existence check, but do make ADSP apply only
   to domains that exist

Your draft still contains a step 2 which defines an existence check.
I think this is perfectly acceptable but am wondering whether you 
intended to include it?

--SNIP--
    2.  The host MUST query DNS for an MX record corresponding to the
        domain (with no prefix).  This query is made only to check the
        existence of the domain name and MAY be done in parallel with the
        query made in step 1.  If the result of this query is an NXDOMAIN
        error, the domain does not exist and the algorithm terminates.
--END SNIP--

Perhaps there isn't a conflict here anymore?  Your step 2 is perfectly 
acceptable to me.

However, your section 4.4 is less clear than the original draft because 
you're using simply "domain" in several places rather than "Author 
Domain" which therefore could introduce the question "which domain are 
they talking about".
