It does more than assume how current implementations address undefined
behavior. It also makes assumptions about curren behavior that is somewhat
known and defined but not necessarily consistent across participating
entities.

It assumes for example that outbound mail only does a single hop except for
going through MLMs. It assumes that there aren't multiple hops on the
inbound side (Think for example cloud based or hybrid security solutions
where the ultimate receiver may have limited control or no control over
behavior before ultimate delivery.

So as Scott succinctly puts it, " Let's not do this."
