I think the draft as written works as you suggest.  I think Dave's concerns 
are really about DMARC (or at least 99.6% about DMARC) and not significantly 
related to this addition.  As designed, the experiment is self-contained:

For senders, it only affects PSDs that have been listed as participants.

For receivers, it only affects receivers that choose to deploy code to do the 
additional check related to PSD DMARC.

As far as I can determine, there is zero impact on anyone else.

We have running code.  I'll leave it to the chairs to evaluate the consensus.
