That is what I was objecting to.  I understood that to mean that some or all 
headers the PRA was
based on would be removed.  Was my interpretation incorrect?

Yes, it was incorrect but that was my fault for not making my meaning
clear.

My suggestion was that the MTA should insert a new header (for the MUA
and human) to show the PRA it calculated and authenticated. Also, to
avoid spoofing, that it also removes any pre-existing instances of
this new header so that the user will only see the one inserted by the
MTA/MDA from which the MUA fetched the mail. This being similar
behaviour to SpamAssassin which removes any pre-existing "X-Spam-*"
headers before adding its own.
