Re: [ietf-dkim] drop requirement to sign "From" or other "originator" headers?

In listening to the responses and looking over the text, I see general agreement, except for Hector --- but only from a very small set of people. Also, saying everything is optional creates an interesting glitch in the text: currently at least one header field must be included, and changing h= so it can be empty will require more thought.

So, for -04 I change my proposal to go back to the wording that says that From MUST be signed (since, as Hector points out, From is required, we don't have to worry about what to do if it is missing). We also said in -03 that "any header field that describes the role of the signer" MUST be signed; I'm inclined to leave that out of -04. There will informative commentary about what a signer probably wants to do.

Folks OK with that?
