On a separate note, I have heard that EzMLM and YahooGroups

I believe the Sympa MLM (http://www.sympa.org) doesn't pass it either,

The new core draft may benefit from an applicability statement that
waives the PRA test for recognized mailing lists.

Then you have to define "recognized mailing lists", which might be a
matter for yet another draft.

Wouldn't it be simpler to ask these guys to perform minor changes to their
mailing list software, rather than have to introduce design kluges to work
around them just because they're Yahoo and (whatever)MLM?

So now we're going to ask everyone to rev their DNS servers, their SMTP 
servers, their MUAs and their MLMs, in the middle of which everyone is 
incompatible with everyone else.

I can really see this working.
