Michael,

Mailing lists are on higher ground, since they are not introducing the 
new mechanism.  ADSP is dealing with an issue significantly impacting 
less than one percent of email domains.  Mailing lists, on the other 
hand, serve a much higher percentage.

Domains wanting to make restrictive ADSP assertions while using 
third-party services, should enumerate which are to be excluded.  This 
enumeration helps prevent breakage without needing to elicit cooperation 
from non-participants.  This enumeration is possible within a single 
transaction that only occurs with the infrequent corner cases.  The goal 
of reducing the success of phishing is far better met when not requiring 
targeted domains to use more domains or sub-domains as their only means 
to isolate policy.  Especially when this leaves personal interactions 
exposed and creates increased recipient confusion.
