The Mystery Stakeholder's name for their answer to SPF is
"Caller-ID for Email".

A few quick comments:

First, this Mystery Stakeholder "Caller-ID for Email" appears to be
totally unrelated to the already announced "Caller-ID for Email" being
pushed by mailshell.com and truste.com.  See:
http://www.truste.org/about/about_mailshell.html

Secondly, I'm glad to see such comments from the Mystery Stakeholder,
it helps me understand where they are coming from.

Thirdly, while I think the architect made a good case for XML in
general, I didn't find anything convincing about why XML is a good fit
for a SPF-type system.


Well, Google has announced an interest in extending email.  If it is someone
like Google, they have a history of playing nice and sharing their toys.  If
are busy building an architecture for their extensions, maybe they want to
hold out till the IPO begins.  I could respect that.
