This working group spent a huge amount of blood, sweat and tears working on

proposed, and none of them have stuck either, and their various authors 
(including me) haven't persisted.

If ADSP is too weak or dangerous a protocol, and there are no current viable 
alternatives, then failing to beat the streets to get the industry to deploy 
it is an act of responsibility, not one of omission or laziness.

We tried policy, and couldn't make it work.  It's time to spend all this 
energy looking at something else.
With upcoming changes in the Internet architecture, many protocols 
including SMTP that exist within the commons, will need to revisit a 
basis for acceptance that does not over burden receivers.  It seems 
elements related to DKIM and SMTP can be more closely bound.
