I read that draft.  Are there any plans for an implementation?  By the 
way, the question is not to brush you off.
Murray suggested that at one time, he might be willing.  It seems better 
to first arrive at understanding the need.

The draft includes open code that is needed to generate the tpa labels, 
and has been tested on few systems.  The draft was aimed at illustrating 
how domain based authorization schemes could implemented without 
imposing an inordinate number of transactions.  Since this scheme is 
only needed to handle a small number of exceptions not practically 
avoided, its impact should be slight.

The third-party scheme could also protect vanity domains signed by major 
providers who confirm ownership prior to signing, i.e. gmail.
Why would unilateral authorization be troubling, since these are also 
infrequent?

In this way, individuals would also be allowed to stray off the 
reservation, provided they get permission. :^)
