But suppose example.com is not a customer of isp.com but yet a message
from example.com has a valid signature from isp.com.  Are you saying
that Y! should say that it believes it came from example.com, based on
the assertion by isp.com that it only signs third-party messages?

Maybe I have trimmed off too much context here, I thought we were
discussing the value of an "I only sign third-party messages".  I'm with
John; I don't see how that provides any useful information to the verifier.
