I have to partially agree with them. The current SRS syntax is not
compatible between implementations (I've found at least 3 different
SRS syntaxes out there in different technical specs or implementations)
and do not make it easy to find original address.

The beautiful part about SRS is that it is completely local.  The inner 
details of my implementation do not need to be known to you for us to 
interoperate.

That "beautiful part" is exactly why Sendmail thinks it will interfere 
with mail signatures authorization and I agree.
