I don't ever expect to see authentication results headers showing up

results of *reputation lookups* to start appearing for those messages
that have been verified to be from certain domains and/or users. That
verification will come from a variety of mechanisms, including the use
of dkim, domainkeys, smime, openpgp, goodmail, trusted
authentication-results headers and parameters, etc. The merging of
domain/user-verification with various reputation services is what I and
many others are interested in seeing.
Yep, we've seen some of these already -- particularly in webmail -- and
there's been a lot of discussion of how best to do it. Firefox add-ons like
WOT are basically the leading edge of implementation. As I hinted earlier,
though, I the core of this is usability -- how the information is displayed,
and how users interact with the information -- rather than underlying
nomenclature.
In fact, the results of domain and/or IP reputation queries were some of
the things I had in mind when making this proposal extensible. I just
haven't codified any since none have been moved through any kind of
standardization process that I know of.
