The vision I have for A-R is that it provides results only and an expression of what was evaluated, but stops short of giving it more than that.  So in the case of VBR it would say "someone the border trusts vouched for domain example.com", meaning the "md=" is important but the "mv=" is not.

That said, I've got a new version already pending, thanks to previous feedback, that changes the tag set added from "header.vbr-info" to "header.md" and "header.mv".

Does that work for you?
