Not to get into an accountability issue here, but in certain professions I feel digital messages should be signed entirely,
I entirely agree, but you need both signatures and verifiable addresses. A PGP or S/MIME signature assures you that the mail definitely came from the address it purports to come from, but it doesn't tell you whether that person is who you think it is. That's where limited access domains can help.
