We based DMARC spec on the From header because it is visible to the end user. I 
understand it is hard to indicate a UI design specification, but we should 
advice MUA that this header and especially the domain name(s) found there are 
important, and they should remain visible and easily readable (in a non 
confusing way) to the end user. 

So I'm happy with advice to MTA, and I still think we should do an advice to 
the MUA, by telling what is important to us.
