Stephen and Barry, I have a procedural question on how the responses to the consensus call will be evaluated for options a,b,c,d. Will it be a+b vs c+d to get a general sense of direction and then evaluate each option with in an approach or will each option be evaluated independently (that is,

Disagree. One such use case is noted in the draft, where an domain has a premium service and a free service, and tags signatures accordingly so that users of the premium service avail themselves of the better reputation that service might have. Right, but that has nothing to do with i=. They'll

The majority of the time, i= will be precisely an email address, I've been collecting the DKIM signatures on my incoming mail, and I'm surprised how few of them have i= at all. Ignoring my own signatures, I see some from Cisco where the i= typically matches the From address, a couple of spams

Jim, I think this is at least the second time I've seen you offer this line of commentary and I still don't understand it. On its surface, your comments seem to me to be a complete non sequitor with the question at hand. The best I can guess is that you think that distinguishing payload from

My vote: (a) The erratum I-D [1] is ready to go. Process it. If there is indeed a requirement to conform to the concept that a protocol must specify its payload, I believe this is the right way to go. At present, a new API implementor has no clear indication of what a minimal DKIM
