[...]it is best that this working group first concentrate on creating a DNS RR addressing the 2821 identities and then proceed to consideration of 2822 identities.

[...]the working group must develop a single policy framework (a single language for describing sender policy language and a single DNS RR to contain policies written in that language) to be used by both the 2821- and 2822-based mechanisms. Accordingly, as the working group completes its work on the 2821-based mechanism, the policy framework developed must be adequate to reasonably support the needs of a 2822-based mechanism.

Just checking to make sure I understand the next steps then. Is the following what you propose?

1. Come up with a RR (TXT or a new one)
2. Come up with a policy language that will be used in the contents of that RR that can support 2821 *and* 2822 policies. 3. Come up with some specific 2821 policy (or policies) defined in that language. 4. Come up with some specific 2822 policy (or policies) defined in that language.

Sound right?
