The nice thing here is that consensus isn't really necessary. I think there will be on the order of a dozen authentication technologies out there. The big choice is not which one you verify on inbound mail -- they're not mutually exclusive so check them all -- but which one you use to certify outbound mail. And that choice will be one of which technology fits best into your mail system and users' habits.
