We don't need an "all-encompassing solution" to be a useful standard. SMTP
doesn't encompass authentication, but it is still quite useful. I would
*not* expect a shared authentication standard to encompass complex
algorithms for extracting the purported responsible domain from a set of
headers. I *would* expect it to encompass how the results of
authenticating that domain are communicated downstream.
Can anyone give me an example of a requirement that must be included in a
shared standard and cannot be written in a way that both sides could live with?
