There are parties that want to do that experiment because they see potential in it. (In fact they're doing it now through a non-standard hack; I need to ask them for results.) What would probably be helpful is some decent description from them of why they think it's valuable and how they plan to use it. You're absolutely right that nobody's cared up until now, but I'm not as sure as you are that this makes the question utterly uninteresting. _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
