Except that OAUTH can also be used to authorize ML subscriptions with
the participation of the subscriber's mail server.  Knowing the [user,
list] pair, the server can apply weak signatures or whatever other
solution we'll find for the DMARC issue.  Other advantages over COI
include:

* Define a folder to store list mail at subscription time, and

* a real list of subscriptions, instead of a time-distributed
  database of reminders.
