I have a THING with any EEE "embrace, extend, and extinguish"
strategy as attempted in RFC 4406 3.4, fortunately a miserable
failure.  An attempted unfriendly takeover of 4405 SUBMITTER,
clearly designed for PRA, wouldn't be better.  

If you only want a *similar* concept (mutatis mutandis) it is
a technical question.  It might be hard to get the significant
deployment of an AUTHORS (if that's the name) SMTP extension
making it worthwhile.  But I can't judge this, I can't guess,
you don't need me to toss a coin.  Ask Eric, and tell us what
your SUBMITTER experiences with Wildcat! are.
