If the advent of DKIM means that numerous modules implementing other specifications loosely suddenly have to pay a price for doing so, then that's the reality, and I still don't see how that's a problem DKIM needs to fix. Sure, we need to document the nuances DKIM introduces, but it's still not an attack against DKIM, so this remains the wrong place to deal with it in a normative sense. If you prefer the loose application of other standards, don't use DKIM (and lose out on its benefits). _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
