Hmm, not sure. A good RG is one that'd attract an active research community and be relatively long lived whereas this seems like a bit of work where we need to do a relatively small and discrete amount of research on one topic. (Which is roughly "What'd happen if you mucked with received headers the MSA passes on to the rest of the mail infrastructure?") The way I think of it is a good RG would produce a stream of academic publications and then some stuff that'd be of use to the IETF. This sounds more like one paper's worth of research then stuff would be done in the IETF or not, depending on the findings. So I don't think an RG would be a good plan and a WG can be chartered to investigate things before proposing things. But if folks think an RG is better, the first step would be to talk to Lars about it.
