Different proposals in the RMX category prevent forgery of different
things. I don't remember the details of every proposal offhand.

It _should_ be possible to discuss the concept of forgery prevention,
the applications of it (such as blocking phishing), and THEN the
implementation details such as whether DNS is the right basis, what
record types, etc.

However, the endless threads here seem to be "RMX doesn't stop all
spam, so we're going to tromp on the discussion and prevent all
progress."

Instead of asking _me_ to answer "forgery of what?", contribute to the
discussion which data requires forgery prevention. The various proposal
authors could then summarize what each addresses.
