I should have mentioned that the example is a problematic scenario where
DKIM2 and in particular the ideas in
draft-gondwana-dkim2-modification-alegbra could make this scenario
tractable for authentication.  The details of the modification algebra are
however out of scope for this particular example.  It does however show the
changes to header hashing through forwarding.

It's meant to be illustrative of some header updates during forwarding
where someone e.g. a mailing list may care to sign for an extra header.
