I tried to make this more consistent.

I've heard this before, but didn't know there was a site that tracked them.  I 
don't think we can avoid either the 6713 or 7489 references.  And it seems 
unwise to make them informational references?  I'll defer to others that may 
understand this a bit better.

Most in the email industry understand that to be from the "From" specification 
from RFC5322, Section 3.6.  If you'd like it to be made more clear, I can try 
to do that.

I clarified that this applies to the report body.
