The proverbial baby out (non-list operations) was thrown out and never
appropriately dealt with. If we need a "DKIM change" (errata), this would be a
good one -- relax the signer domain alignment of the AUID "Agent/User Identity"
as so many people wanted. Another errata would be to add the official
recognition for the ADID "Author Domain Identity" which got us into this mess
now by trying to dismiss its importance.

Well, yes, and no. In retrospect, that was always a failure of
communication. The i= bit came from people in corporate environments
where the mail system is locked down, and you can't put anyone's
return address but your own on your mail. But, of course, there are a
lot of mail systems, and only some of them are like that.
