No, the spec definitely doesn't say that, and we all think it should say
something so that there's no confusion anymore.

But, I think "unspecified" means exactly that. You can't interpret it any
specific way and claim that's what the spec implied. It becomes application
specific.

My earlier point was that this is basically what sender-vouches means, but
then I always viewed them as essentially the same...
