A chain of trust is broken when each node checks a different mailbox-domain. It is also seems inappropriate to misapply a record intended for a different mailbox-domain. Handing multiple accountable identities is daunting, especially when a change in convention between administrative domains makes spoofing easy. Correlating the mailbox-domain checked and then displayed becomes another matter. Regardless of the mailbox-domain checked, leaving authorization normally open-ended overcomes present problematic header conventions. Only institutions dealing with a phishing problem would have an incentive to tackle closing the authorization list. Changing from an address-list to a name-list overcomes exploits invited by an open-ended authorization list as well, as this would imply a separate entity is utilized for reputation. -Doug
