Section 3.3.3 includes 512 bit rsa as a MUST. I think that that

It might not be significant, but I presume there are deployed 512
DomainKey Selectors, excluding 512 from DKIM would break those
deployments.

We *could* deprecated that size by saying verifiers MUST and signers
MAY if the consensus is that 512 should not be used henceforth.
