Russ,
This topic was addressed at great length during development of the DKIM
charter, which says:
I am not sure what topic you think was addressed. Since no one has suggested
that the working group effort lacks authority to make changes I can't guess what
you are referring to.
Since there already are voices making clear that the question of compatibility
is important, here, and since asking that question does not imply that the
outcome is pre-determined, I am really curious why Stephen and now you seem so
focused on it.
If changes are needed, make them! Be aware of the backward
compatibility issues, but this cannot be used to stifle discussion or
innovation.
Who has been trying to "stifle discussion or innovation" and how have they been
doing that?
If you answer is "no one" then why did you feel it necessary to utter this
directive?
