MARID is an authentication system (title mistake aside).

Right. There's no authorization mechanism available yet for Caller-ID, which is what I meant when I said I didn't see the value.


MARID, SPF and CallerID are composed in two parts

NORMATIVE:  Syntax for describing outgoing edge MTAs
SUGGESTIVE: Rules for senders to interpret above

I don't believe that this group has any business telling receivers
what to do with the bits they receive. Hence I make zero distinction
between MARID, SPF and CallerID at the normative level beyond syntax.


I believe that this is the same thing that Andy was proposing.
