 Eventually, if Submitter becomes widely used,

to MAIL FROM, and then we will be close to where SPF Classic would be if
we had continued down the SRS path.

Is there actually a technical reason why we shouldn't continue down the 
Classic-SPF + SRS path ? SRS makes sense to me, much more that SUBMITTER and 
PRA which interest is yet very unclear in my mind (but the complication it 
introduces is ;-)

I agree.

I would hope this could be the direction taken.  I would see SRS being
transformed into incorporating BATV or perhaps the other way around. 
Either way, I see NO use for the PRA or Submitter scheme unless the goal
is to break mail and have messages go missing. ;^)
