The current text is now in front of the IESG for internal review.
Assuming we approve it for external review on Thursday, you will see a
announcement soliciting comments. A simple comment, with specific
suggested textual changes, would be welcomed.

   Rewrites of 5322.From headers are a serious security problem
   that will damage the efficacy and purpose of mail security
   goals of the DMARC protocol and also set a dangerous precedence
   for the mail framework as a whole.  It is therefore out of scope.
   The WG will not justify nor promote rewrite proposals and will
   consider them as security problem to mitigate in the security
   section.

Your suggestion will be taken into consideration. I will certainly forward it to the IESG during external review if you don't.

(I should say that I *personally* don't think it's necessary to make such a strong statement, as I don't think it's going to change the outcome. So if others think that the statement needs strengthening along these lines, do speak up at external review time. Either way, I will make the IESG aware of the comment.)
