Can anyone remember why there's a SHOULD for the downgrade to 7-bit in RFC4871 Section 5.3, rather than a MUST? The likelihood of breakage is so high when sending 8-bit data that DKIM almost becomes pointless without the upgrade.
Not advocating for this to be changed in -bis (yet), but someone's asking me for the history behind that decision.
