I am sorry if I came across harshly.  It was unintentional.

   The fact remains that universal MX records don't relieve all mail-relays
   of the need to do source routing.

I keep seeing people discuss these cases that are supposed to be
intractable in the DNS.  I've been hammering (repeatedly, sigh) on my
best personal example where it worked flawlessly.  Perhaps I'm seeing
things from the wrong end.  Can someone provide me with a real world
case where the % hack is _needed_?  (A pointer into the appropriate
spot in the HR RFCs will do, if applicable.)
