I have only one comment.  The removal of very significant data points 
from this last revision:

   Author vs. Third-Party:  73% of the signatures observed were author
        signatures, meaning the "d=" value in the signature matched the
        domain found in the From: header field.  The remainder, therefore,
        were third-party signatures.

   Originator signatures:  1.2 billion
   Third-party signatures:  184 million

This is signification information.

Why was it removed?  Why hide this significant fact?
