True. And until the forwarding problem is actually solved in the real
world, _nobody_ has 'a way to send stuff that is supported.' 

Thus, any IT department which publishes a record with '-all' for their
company is not doing their job correctly, unless they're using SES
instead of relying on the assumption that the whole world has already
'upgraded' to do SRS for them.

It's fine for toy domains which people run for themselves, but when the
stakes are higher you actually have to start paying some attention to
detail.
