The problem with your definition of "originator" is that it conflicts
with the RFC-822 usage:

     source      = [  trace ]                    ; net traversals
                      originator                 ; original mail
                   [  resent ]                   ; forwarded

The originator is the source of the message.  Regardless of how many
bounces or resends this particular message goes through, I am still the
originator, the original source.  Yes, I know you disagree with that;
but as far as I can see your disagrement has no justification in
RFC-822.  If you can show me where in RFC-822 (or some supplement) the
originator is not the source of a message (or the source is not the
originator) I will belive you.
