Maybe John's answer in his parallel post is what you're looking for,
but my interpretation is that this is a matter of local policy (and
MTA implementation).

Eg, I'm responsible for lists etc at a couple of domains, and I have
several different answers!  Maybe I trust the user (eg, me).  Maybe I
trust a particular addressee (because it's on your "list of known
forwarders").  And maybe I don't really care as long as downstream is
willing to sign and put *their* reputation on the line (they are
signing the whole message, I'm just making a token).

Oops, there's a real question.  Should these forwarding signatures be
RECOMMENDED or (REQUIRED) to have "full coverage" of message contents?
Or maybe that doesn't matter as "responsible" 3rd parties will want to
provide full coverage, and it's no trouble for abusers to do so?  If
REQUIRED, should there be a way for the Author Domain to specify the
meaning of "full coverage," or should the RFC do so?
