A relaying MTA should only add an A-R header field if the border MTA 
which will receive the message trusts the relaying MTA.  An example I 
added shows how this might be useful.

Thus I guess this should say that a relaying MTA SHOULD NOT add an A-R 
field unless it falls within the trust boundary of the domain to which 
it is relaying.
