But unfortunately, use of strict policy in the current environment can
be antisocial behavior, and therefore it is going to be ignored (as a
policy) by socially responsible recipients.  Viz, GMail.[1]  And it
leads to avoidance behavior (From-corruption, encapsulation) by third
parties (at least mailing lists).  "Avoidance" is also anti-social
IMO, even though it's my constituency that's doing it.

Those same socially responsible recipients will, of course, use it as
an (important) input into their *heuristic, reputation-based*
decisions about filtering.  Viz. again, GMail.

Third-party authorization just pushes the heuristic, reputation-based
decision-making off onto the third parties you want to authorize, and
doesn't scale to precisely the large mailbox providers who can cause
widespread consternation by publishing "p=reject" policies.

Footnotes: 
[1]  While I have my reservations about the CSR of all billion-dollar
companies, including Google, GMail's handling of p=reject is socially
responsible behavior.  IMHO YMMV.
