There are two main fallacies that appear to be behind the arguments of a few people here: (1) RFC4686 is gospel. It isn't. Its status is "Informative" which means it doesn't bind anyone to do anything. (2) A working group is not entitled to change its mind about something based on experience. It is. Since RFC4686 was published, some of the consensus view of how this does/should/might all work has shifted. There's nothing wrong with that. If someone wants to undertake the work of publishing an update because it's seen as important, there are several of us that could assist with procedure, though it's unlikely to be done by this working group at this point. _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
