So the UAID is essentially a sender-created identifier used for
whatever purpose a sender wishes.

Not quite. I expect conventions to arise for its use in particular  
situations. For example, it might become common (even mandatory) to use it  
when messages are distributed to a mailing list (such cases would be  
easily recognisable by evaluators because of the presence of List-*  
headers as well). Doubtless there are other special purposes which  
evaluators could use and act upon (including perhaps well known senders  
such as Yahoo and Hotmail).

I think I am +1 fine with your errata.

It probably needs a little more word smithing, but it should probably move  
ahead.
