Assertions suggested in SSP such as '~' (signs some?), '-' (third- party?) offers questionable benefit and delay. Grading email with respect to "partial" conformance offers a means for coercion
There does seem to be a swell of current opinion, as people think about it and read the discussion, that any sender signing declaration (let's consider moving away from the term "policy") should simply start with a straight "I sign everything" (or not), which doesn't get directly into the "what does that really mean, and who's responsible for interpreting it" questions. At that stage, we take the "partial" issue out of it. That'll be a good thing for us to get back into a discussion of, when the time comes to discuss it. I think we'll do some {SSP/SSD/whatever we wind up calling it} discussion when we get to the threats document, after the charter's settled. And then, of course, the bulk of it will come later, when we're actively working on the SS{P/D/x} document. For now, let's all think about what aspects of SS{P/D/x} we need to consider for the threats document, and what is a matter for banging out later in the detailed SS{P/D/x} brawl.
