Wayne, Greg, Mark, and I are at the MARID working group interim
meeting. Also present are Harry Katz and Jim Lyon from Microsoft
representing Caller-ID. We have agreed to converge the two proposals
that take the best of each.

The New SPF will also suggest a better alternative to SRS, so that
removes the big forwarding objection.
We also have Sendmail, Verisign, IBM, etc in the room and they are
nodding their heads.
