But i= can't be anything at all; it *does* have certain constraints.
Thinking otherwise is a bad assumption.

using the valid values of i=(_at_)good(_dot_)largeisp(_dot_)com, 
i=(_at_)bad(_dot_)largeisp(_dot_)com and
i=(_at_)suspect(_dot_)largeisp(_dot_)com?

That too is possible.  The point about i= being a collective sum of
multiple user reputations, in a large isp scenario, doesnt depend on
this.  But that constraint is not too relevant, given the assumption
that i= can be anything at all and is mostly relevant to the entity
that signs and transmits the email.
