*May* put it as a header, not *should.* A "Note" could be added saying
that system administrators may optionally wish to record the ifnormation
in off-line logs. Trusting identd is not a binary decision.

It *SHOULD* set sender if it is different from the From header.
>2) During POST: discard any pre-existing Path:.
No. Useful for mail/news gateways and to allow clients to reroute
avoiding "hostile" hosts (r.h.f and Waterloo)
