agreed. And moving negotiation to 'asking DNS what to do' is just  
shifting the problem around.

At the least, it should be possible to explicitly say 'this is how I  
will send' and presume the other end is similarly explicitly  
configured. No negotiation, period.

(The environments I'm considering won't support DNS.)
