Most participants don't like invalid addresses, but accept the
idea of (ab)using TLD .invalid as smallest damage in comparison
with me@privacy.net, "modified" addresses, or other constructs
to avoid spam.

Indeed. And for the same reasons he might be unable to cancel
faked articles with "his" invalid From: address. Or more
precisely, there's no obvious technical definition of a "fake"
in conjunction with invalid addresses. Maybe you could add a
warning to 7.3 or better 5.2 about these side-effects.
