I have just looked at an article about YDK for a couple minutes, and
don't claim to understand it fully. There seem to be some similarities
to SPF and other proposals. We (W3C) have deployed SPF records just
recently. The main benefit we are expecting is that we can avoid
ourselves and our mailing lists being spammed by impersonators faking
our own email addresses. That's not all of spam, but it's a very
nasty and troubling bit of it.
