The IESG has the following issue they'd like us to resolve on the DKIM 
reporting draft, and the result might also apply to the SPF reporting draft, 
before it can be approved for publication.

"- is rr=all a good default? If a bad-actor sends a supposedly signed mail with 
a DKIM-Signature with 1000  fields then what happens if the Signer's DNS has no 
rr tag? Maybe some special case for unknown DKIM-Signature tokens or a max on 
the number of reports for a single message? (Note: I'm assuming that a separate 
report can be, or is to be, generated for each DKIM-Signature token that fails, 
clarifying that only one report is ever sent for one inbound mail with a broken 
signature would also fix this.)"

It's my understanding that we would generate one report per failed signature, 
because a single message might bear multiple signatures from different domains 
that have different reporting requirements, so the parenthetical solution won't 
work for us.  A maximum on the number of reports per message is somewhat 
arbitrary given that a Verifier can do them in any order.

We have a few options here:

- require an "rr" tag, rather than having a default
- have some default other than "all", chosen from the set of available report 
requests

And we might in addition:

- add a report request for unknown signature tags

What does the WG think?  The telechat is this coming Thursday, so having this 
resolved by then would be ideal.
