Don't both these proposals amount to "forwarders" saying

mail and "beat" SPF claim to be a forwarder?
 
The only entity that can reliably identify a forwarder is
the receiver that establishes the forwarding relationship.

+1 wrt Julian's proposal (I didn't check the revised TENBOX).

We discussed op=meng (renamed to op=trust) back in 2005, and
I dropped it as useless later:  Of course "final receivers"
can whitelist "traditional forwarders" based on a HELO PASS
if the forwarder offers it.  But they don't need a modifier
or option for this piece of "receiver policy" magic.  Plain
RFC 4408 SPF will do for this purpose.
