On the contrary, you have *not* change at all since mailsig and have made no
attempt to understand any argument made.  Your first three sentences above
proves it, especially the third worth repeating:

    Whether a third party signature is present or not is completely
    irrelevant to the question of whether there is a valid
    first party signature.

which proves:

    3PS ALLOWED NO RESTRICTIONS (what you guys want)

The fact is you have not being trying very hard to "tell" because there are
clearly people here who have expressed repeatedly the benefits of allowing
restrictive 3rd party policies, if so desired by the domain.

That's the kicker here, its all OPTIONAL yet, you are not even open to
making it an option.

So who is more open-minded here?
