I think your only offense is presenting a perspective based on operational experience that varies from the preconceived notions of a substantial fraction of the participants of this working group.

There has been considerable resistance to doing any standardized policy work relative to DKIM.  It's unfortunate that this resulted in policy having to be bolted on to DKIM after it was designed because we were prohibited from doing policy work as a part of DKIM development. 

As far as I can see, the only problem with ADSP and your discussion of it is that ADSP is guilty of doing exactly what it was designed to do with exactly the limitations we said it would have when we designed it.  The same people that didn't like it then, don't like it now.
