Providing end-to-end assurance that the message really came from the 
originator is not the stated goal. It would be nice if we could do that, 
but so far there are operational and deployment problems with 
accomplishing that. I've got ideas about how we might improve that 
situation, but they will take much longer to deploy than the things we 
are talking about here.
