I think that would cause far more confusion than enlightenment.  The
kind of analysis I do on ARFs looks for specific quirks of the headers
that my software adds.  If it doesn't find them, it'll discard the
whole report as bogus.  Better to send no headers than fake ones.

Since it's fine for any other multipart/report to omit the copy of the
message, seems to me a lot tidier just to fix 5965 to be consistent.

Based on my prior experience with errata, it's OK to use the corrected
version of the doc as a base for future work without recycling.  In
RFC 5518 we made a fairly bad mistake, saying that you use the i= rather
than d= in a DKIM result.  We fixed that with an erratum, seems to be OK.

R's,
John
