3) I don't know the DK specification: is it fully supported by this
code? or is it a partial implementation?

does Yahoo! have a compliance test suite?

PS: Robert, is this work somehow related to the reorganization of crypto
code (SMIME/PGP) discussed here
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-596 ?

related, yes but indirectly

SMIME and OpenPGP/SMIME are very similar structurally - the major
difference is in the keying.

OpenPGP/clearsign is easier and does not involve MIME so differs structurally.

the specification links from the Yahoo! page seem to be broken so i
can only go from the code. at first glance, it appears structurally
different from each of the other areas.

but it might be powerful to have some signing/verification abstraction
so that further processing could happen regardless of what technology
was used. i'm very keen on domain specific languages, meta data and
rules engines for email (so that'd probably be good enough for me) but
perhaps james would benefit from pluggable signers and verifiers....

BTW i have most of the most difficult work done on OpenPGP/SMIME but
i'm not sure when i'll find time to get back and finish it.
