If the WG thinks the domain's key should be authoritative, that'd be fine
with me.  We didn't want to make any unilateral changes to the trust model

behind it.

So an authoritative service makes sense in an Enterprise context, but not in a 
consumer context.  How do you preserve consumer choice if Yahoo! owns their 
email service, but they want to certify keys elsewhere?
