My own motivation is the former, not the latter.  That is, yes I would like
to recover the author domain signature if we can come up with a relatively
robust way to do that without creating a security hole; no, my motivation
has nothing to do with enabling uptake of "p=reject", though that might be
a side effect that I think others would find beneficial.

I think I recall that the group initiating this effort sees this new thing
as something that could supplant DMARC, but they're free to correct me if
I've got that wrong.
