While what you say makes sense, in terms of general distinctions, I do not understand how it applies for DKIM. "Users" for DKIM are operations folk, not consumer-styled end users. So: Who, exactly, are the people who would be on the "operations" list and what would they talk about, versus who would be the people on the users list and what would they talk about? How are the people on these two lists different? It increasingly seems to be that we need one (or two) lists for developers and one for operations (classic OA&M). I don't have any preference about this; it's merely all that I am seeing. The choice for developers seems to be between programmers trying to decipher specifications, versus testers running interoperability or conformance scenarios. Comments?
