I'll claim that this change does not meaningful change any of the threat vectors or protections against them that are currently in place.

Note, for example, that we already have mailing lists disabling DMARC protection on the From field, in a way that distorts the original information but actually also still retains it.  There do not seem to be any complaints about the handling resulting from such mail.

Rather, this proposal cleans up the email human factors while retaining the intended domain name protection.

ps. I was really struck by being pointed to the DomainKeys RFC and re-discovering that it actually specified the use of 822.sender for exactly the use I've proposed.  I'd completely forgotten that Delaney did that.
