OK.  I forgot that.  How about just this:

    If the original message has a non-null return-path, then a
    proper failure report MUST consist of a notification to the
    sender of the message.


Hi David,

Do you think this and your other points are already covered in 4.5.5 in particular with the 2nd paragraph?

   All other types of messages (i.e., any message which is not required
   by a standards-track RFC to have a null reverse-path) SHOULD be sent
   with a valid, non-null reverse-path.
