Just for the sake of being thorough, I'm going to cite a tiny concern 
with ADSP and something that might address that concern.

"Author Domain Signing Practices" can be parsed a couple of ways.  It 
could be (Author Domain) Signing Practices [the intended meaning] or 
Author (Domain Signing) Practices.  Of course, this protocol does not 
describe which authors sign domains (whatever that means).

Proposed alternative:  Signing Practices of Author Domains (SPAD).  It's 
even something you can pronounce, if that matters.
