Maybe we should let the MLM developers, some of whom are here 
(or were, maybe they've been scared off) comment?

Already did. We a FULL TIME commercial vendor with Mailing List 
Components since 1996.  The engineering I proposed came in th DSAP I-D 
stating the same issues.  Many also agreed here and to talk about it 
other discussion areas.

There is NOTHING new here.  It is about unrestricted 3rd party signers 
and allowing them to exist without issues and the only reason there is 
a revival of the issue it is now YOU with the MLM considerations  - 
anyone else would have been ignored like all these years.

But the issue is too fundamental to common sense engineering - it can 
not go away on its own and not just by some saying "DON'T SUPPORT IT!"

At the end of the day, it is about the piece of C/C++ or whatever 
language code that is going either blinding resign (something new) all 
new era dkim messages (something new) or be restricted using domain 
POLICY.

While POLICY is still on the table as a draft standard, no engineer 
worth their salt should be IGNORING it.  If he does, he has a BUG in 
his software and whether he agrees or not, someone will throw it in 
this face - you are violating RFC 5016..

Your MLM has it right Murray.  It has all the information a MLM author 
needs to go with to do this right.

You guys needs to make your minds regarding policy.
