Please forgive my having been unclear in what I meant. I mean empirical data about users, not about developers. That is, there needs to be evidence that what is being proposed has actual efficacy in user behavior, not merely popularity amongst software developers (or their managers.) > Empirical data #3: users[*] seem to be accepting #1 in good terms.

And then, of course, then there's the whole matter of needing external references that objectively support the assertions you are making... d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list dmarc@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
