I don't like making up a new name for what we already have.  I'd
rather just call it "the domain part of the 'From' address."

We already have an identity for it in section 2.3 - "Author's 
Organization"
and that is to mean a "domain".    We labeled all others with acronyms 
for easier modeling, why not ODID.


There's also the issue, in defining this, that there may be multiple
"From" addresses with different domain parts.  In a case like this:

   From: Paul Simon <paul(_at_)example(_dot_)com>,
             Art Garfunkel <garf(_at_)example(_dot_)net>

....which domain do we use?

This was already discussed over the years and many felt the first one 
(see next paragraph, but ADSP leaves it open, see ADSP Section 2.3 and 
3.0.   This is no different than having multiple 3rd party 
DKIM-Signatures with different responsible SDID signers.

Keep in mind the rarity of it too. The originating author is already a 
vetted input process at legitimate hosting systems, i.e. No 
*legitimate* System in the world allows a free FROM input field for 
users to freely enter not only just one unknown address but multiples 
as well.  The only ones are those catering to such anonymity have 
already long been the part and the source of the problem.
