Except that it's now called ADSP, sounds good so far. :-)

Do you mean you'd like a separate library for those functions?  I'm not 
sure what you're after here.

That's the main purpose of Authentication-Results: use by MUAs or filter 
systems when making final sorting or reject/accept decisions.  It's a 
standards-track draft with the IETF that's on its way towards the formal 
approval process.

A copy of the draft is available in the source code directory for 
dkim-milter, as well as via http://www.ietf.org under the "Internet 
Drafts" area.
