I still don't understand what probblem this is supposed to solve.

The DKIM canonicalization stuff is mostly relevant to mail headers. While there
are strict and relaxed canonicalization models for the body, in practice
intermediate mail systems do not mess with the body and the two work the same.

The current draft is a way of wrapping PGP signatures of a single MIME
body part containing copy of the message. Even fewer mail systems mess
with the contents of a single MIME body part, so there's nothing for
DKIM to canonicalize.  Note that DKIM's header canonicalization is about
the real message headers, not the ones inside the MIME part.

R's,
John
