Earlier today I had a look at parts of DKIM finally 

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dkim-base-06.txt

Section 3.4 Canonicalization is of particular interest talking of how the
handling of white space is to conducted with "simple" and "relaxed" algorithms.
The last two paragraphs of 3.4 is of particular note worthy:

   Canonicalization simply prepares the email for presentation to the
   signing or verification algorithm.  It MUST NOT change the
   transmitted data in any way.  Canonicalization of header fields and
   body are described below.

   NOTE:  This section assumes that the message is already in "network
   normal" format (e.g., text is ASCII encoded, lines are separated with
   CRLF characters, etc.).  See also Section 5.3 for information about
   normalizing the message.

I understand "network normal" to mean the message in its RFC 2822 form,
regardless of how it was received, is submitted to the signing/verifier subject
to one of the two white space algorithms.
