Recipient domains determine what messages they will accept or reject.Fairness 
and precedence are not necessarily applicable.I suggest that the DMARC 
standards track be placed on hold for at least a year.   It is not clear to me, 
from this group's membership, that DMARC implementers feel an urgent need for 
standard status, so a delay should be tolerable to them.A Mailing List 
Protection WG should be formed to develop his ideas into an informational or 
experimental RFC.   Then that RFC can be promoted to see if it wins over any

If there are examples of adding stricter validation in a way that
essentially requires changing the semantics of the payload, in order for
the payload to survive, I can't think of any. Not TLS, not DNSSec, not
S/MIME or PGP.

DMARC essentially enforces a semantic on the From: field as a handling
identifier, rather than an author identifier.

When activity that has a long history of semantic validity and a
continued desire for operation is forced to break the denotational
source of authoring information, in order to get the mail delivered,
then we are in new territory.
