difficult to address that comment without more detail .... I've had
others suggest that text about canonicalisation and header fields more
generally could be rather better arranged and I tend to agree...

of course rearranging things to improve the flow will make that
completely impractical ! and do you really want to learn that the NITS
system thinks it should be "public key" and not "public-key" ?

the document explicitly stresses the things that are the same as DKIM1
(the keys, the (implicit) use of relaxed/relaxed) but after that there's
not that much that is identical -- so I don't think this would be
especially helpful and it would be quite a lot of work

I think that is something for overview documents to address ... this
draft is concentrating on the DKIM2-Signature header field and I have
tried to remove all the material that is about the scheme in general
(and I suspect more of the later pages could go)
