Re: [ietf-smtp] New Mailing List to discuss email canonicalization?

It's also conceivable that a company would offer users the ability to upload
their public key to the repository.

True, although if it's web mail you're going to need some impressively complex Javascript to arrange so that the user can read the mail but the provider can't.

you run the key lookup server, so you can apply whatever your
local-part equivalence rules are.

I generally agree, but I want to point out that while equivalence  to
a canonical address with an associated key is sufficient to solve this problem,
it isn't necessary:

Oh, of course, sorry if that wasn't clear. You need a mapping from the address to the key, not to a canonical anything.
