+1.

Personally, I think 5322.From is the main thing but if you wish to 
include the others, I'm good with that.

I think the main point is we have a real chance here to finally solve 
or address a long time 822/2822/5322 issue that only DKIM can claim 
today to help resolve or prevent from getting exploited in the future 
and if it help create in incentive for these checks to be done at MSA, 
MDA including when these systems use DKIM bypassing existing checks, 
the better.
