It seems that draft looks rather confusing. Let me try and restate the 
catch:

Client: I'd like to say Verified Hello and be whitelisted.
Server: Nope, I need to verify XYZ in order to whitelist you.
Client: OK, I've logged that. I'll just send by regular Hello then...
(Alternatively, client can send via BigESP, if being whitelisted is a 
requisite for this message.)

Postmasters may count the occurrences of the XYZ keyword before 
deciding what vouching enhancements it is worth to go for. I noted 
that, while Microsoft has other means to push for, say, Sender-ID, 
VHLO would enable even less massive ESPs to etch receivers' logs with 
the name of their favorite filtering policy.

He said:
> Ah, a branding exercise.  That hadn't occurred to me.  Who knows, it might work.  Point it out on the ASRG list, we'll see if there's any interest.

Anyone?
