And this is the reason I like to say that ADSP is the public  
mechanism for achieving what is currently being performed through  
private agreements.

Right!  And private agreements can only scale so far.

The use case for ADSP "discardable" at a d= level is clear, and well  
understood.  Other possible ADSP uses are much more complex, which  
is (IIRC) why the WG consensus was to leave 'em out for now.  But,  
that out-of-scope complexity doesn't remove the need for the simple  
case.

ADSP "discardable" is not well defined when there is an expectation  
that compliance assessments ignore the i= value.  For this, the  
following is needed.

CHANGE:

An "Author Signature" is any Valid Signature where the identity of the  
user or agent on behalf of which the message is signed (listed in the  
"i=" tag or its default value from the "d=" tag) matches an Author  
Address in the message. When the identity of the user or agent  
includes a Local-part, the identities match if the Local-parts are the  
same string, and the domains are the same string.

TO:

An "Author Signature" is any Valid Signature per section 3.2, where an  
Author Address domain is within the signature's "d=" tag and value  
domain.
