Trying to define what is intrinsically a social policy using purely technological means pretty much always fails -- and generates a lot of pointless arguments along the way.

Nobody with any real-world mail operations experience wants a not-yet-chartered working group to tell them how or when to apply reputation, so any attempt to do so will fail miserably. But, that failure doesn't need to drag DKIM down with it.

Can we just agree that DKIM may be used as an input to site-specific reputation systems and MOVE ON already?
