Hash: SHA1

This version of clayton-dkim2-spec has fully integrated the latest
iteration of Bron's Message-Instance header field (which carries the
hash values for the header and body) with DKIM2-Signature (which just
signs the M-I and D2-S headers).

Other changes you might miss until you read it carefully are to have a
coherent set of tag names (not slavishly copying DKIM1), and to use what
is effectively relaxed/simple; because relaxed is essential to interwork
for the headers -- and simple is more appropriate for something which is
authenticating mail bodies. If it causes interworking issues then we
should find out soon enough, and can change back to relaxed/relaxed.

This should now be a stand-alone document to implement against...

Abstract:

   DomainKeys Identified Mail v2 (DKIM2) permits a person, role, or
   organization that owns a signing domain to document that it has
   handled an email message by associating their domain with the
   message.  This is achieved by providing a hash value that has been
   calculated on the current contents of the message and then applying a
   cryptographic signature that covers the hash values and other details
   about the transmission of the message.  Verification is performed by
   querying an entry within the signing domain's DNS space to retrieve
   an appropriate public key.  As a message is transferred from author
   to recipient systems that alter the body or header fields will
   provide details of their changes and calculate new hash values.
   Further signatures will be added to provide a validatable "chain".
   This permits validators to identify the nature of changes made by
   intermediaries and apply a reputation to the systems that made
   changed.  DKIM2 also allows recipients to detect when messages have
   been unexpectedly "replayed" and can also ensure that delivery status
   notifications are only sent to entities that were involved in the
   transmission of a message.
