Likely because it requires remembering which Received: header is the
appropriate one.
Proto-Proposal: When Am I?
(AI = 3, please)
Create a rule titled "When Am I?" with this text:
A public message's claim to have been published as of the
time in its Date: header is self-ratifying, unless a challenge
of falsified Date: header pertaining to the publisher has been
issued within one month before its publication.
A message's Date: header SHOULD only be challenged if it is
sufficiently inaccurate to have non-trivial legal significance,
and the challenger SHOULD clearly identify which date-stamp e
believes is most accurate.
