Disagree.  Unlike DKIM (RFC4871) where use is self evident, a practice
assertion must declare which transport protocol is covered.  Otherwise
it is impossible to discern specifically what is being asserted.  Are
messages signed for SMTP, or NNTP, for example.

But you still have not explained, despite being asked repeatedly, how that
question is to be answered for a particular message.

If the message arrives at the Verifier via SMTP, is it an SMTP message, or
is it not? And if not, how is the Verifier supposed to know?
