I think it would be useful to have standardized codes for identity scopes

BTW - for identity names, the following is what I have so [...]

  from   - RFC2822 From Header Field on its own (if multiple addreses then
           first one)

in the Unified-SPF drafts, I proposed a "fromhdr" identity as
different name for the "from" identity you mentioned above.  I felt
the name would be less likely to be confused with the mfrom identity.


  ptr    - DNS name for PTR pointer for SMTP Client IP address

I'm not if you want to make the distinction, but the raw client IP
address is used as an identity all over the place.


Anything else that has been proposed?



BTW - I can already see that we will eventually need a registry for it...

*sigh*

Should I add an IANA consideration blurb about registering
scopes/identities?
