Receivers can evaluate the Author: domain just like they would do if it were 
the From: domain.  As a new field, Author: doesn't wear a reliable-id trophy, 
hence receivers may refrain to apply policy dispositions.  However, the result 
of the evaluation, conveyed through aggregate report, can tell MLMs if 
rewriting From: was necessary.

That's the only kind of strategy I see for limiting From: rewriting horizon.
