I'd suggest two small changes:
Any mailbox in the From-content field SHOULD belong to one of the
poster(s) of the article, be one that he is authorized by the owner
to use,
or be an address which ends in the top level domain of ".invalid"
[RFC
2606].
That makes clearer the consensus intent to not allow such addresses as
joe@job.example.com, even though they are "authorized". Note: I
personally consider using any reserved domain to be equivalent to the
specific form given here, but since there was a consensus the wording
should reflect it unambiguously, and without the term "owner" there
might be a question of what "authorized" means.
