I want to be able to say, "Look dude! That's
not what RFC5321.MailFrom is for. Go read the bloody architecture and
get your mind right, or give me a long interesting explanation about how
the state of the world you live in is different than what the
architecture says and convince me that your use is reasonable."

The architecture will develop, it will be refined over time, and it

the land of email. That sounds to me like a standards-track document.
Yup.
