I completely recommend everybody read and understand this paper. It 
doesn't address every answer to every question, but it does allow us to 
be much more data driven rather than uninformed conjecture. It's fine to 
dispute its conclusions, but it is not fine to dispute it to just 
dismiss it out of hand based on feelings or bias. It really gave me some 
grounding from the gut feelings which doesn't confirm much of anything. 
DKIM and DMARC need to more data and much less conjecture.
