Re: Has the IETF dropped the ball?

SMTP should be "simple", but obviously we are unable to agree
on a concept for MAIL FROM, the 1123 / 2821 fans insist on a
"feature" where the 821 / SPF fans cry "bug". "Sender-ID" was
a foul compromise, beaten to death from both camps. I could
live with it if it would only leave v=spf1 alone.
Is this issue really something that must be worked out in a shared
standard? Could we not leave it to each competing method exactly
which header it chooses for the domain name to authenticate?
No. It's not acceptable for any of these methods to use existing
protocol elements in a way that contradicts either their definitions or
their use in practice.
