o Since interpretation of the identity is up to the receiver, the sender will not state the type of the identity. The sender will simply state the identity, and the receiver will judge it as 2821 or 2822 depending on need.

While intepretation/action on a message is indeed up to the receiver, isn't the sender making an assertion of identity in some form in the message (whether it is in rfc2821 MAIL FROM:, rfc2822 From:/Sender:) ? Why can't the sender make an assertion as to which identity the sender's policy should favor, to assist the receiver ?
