The issue I've had with tagged addresses (which I use BTW in some cases)
is a usability one -- if I subscribe to a list with jm-list@jmason.org,
I have to maintain a mapping between "posting to the foo list" means
"use jm-list@jmason.org for the From address" (since most sensible lists
impose From-addr filtering to avoid spam).

Giving a different e-mail addr to each correspondent breaks down in this
case, since I may be replying to Jim Youll, ccing Matt Sergeant, and the
ARSG list.  Which from addr do I use in this case?  If only the Asrg
list had so far had a tagged address mapping, that would be doable.  But
if all 3 had, it's more difficult; I'd have to tell my software that
Asrg takes priority, use its address, etc.
