G'day.

Looking for a community determination, here: The DKIM spec's examples in A.2 and A.3 do not explicitly claim to be related to each other. However they do contain the same message, so that assuming a relationship seems pretty reasonable.

As such, calling the point raised in this Errata report an actual error is certainly not silly. But I'm not sure it's correct, either.

Thoughts?

Notes
-----
The "simple" header canonicalization doesn't change the header fields in any way.

Folded header fields are missing one space of indentation (they have 5 spaces instead of 6), which makes the verification fail. Note that the plain text version of the RFC adds a prefix of three spaces before each line of text, which must be ignored.

In section A.3, the indentation is changed again (5 spaces instead of 6 + the "b=" tag has 2 additional spaces of indentation).

Test cases:
- opendkim: https://github.com/cyrusimap/opendkim/blob/ab2934e131cbe670b49f11db9daf8cd1223e3839/libopendkim/tests/t-testdata.h#L74
- go-dkim: https://github.com/emersion/go-dkim/blob/master/verify_test.go#L9
