I'd still like to at least say something. I think the absence of MUA recognition of this header is an issue. We can add as many warning headers as we want to spoofed messages, but if the MUAs don't do anything with that information then the utility of the headers' contents is crippled.

How about something like:

Legacy MUAs

        An important factor to the usefulness of this proposal is adoption
        by Mail User Agents (MUAs) of some method by which the information
        the headers contain is relayed to users to indicate the validity
        of the message.  The lag time between publication of this standard
        and widespread adoption by MUAs will require careful consideration
        by those making use of authentication methods which relay their
        results using this header.
