Small complaint: in draft-ietf-dkim-base-01.txt, the record (section 
3.6.1) defines a `flags` tag identified by `t=`, with the only defined 
value being `y`, standing for `testing DKIM, do not discard message even 
if signature verification fails`.

I guess the original role for `t=y` was for `testing flag`, then 
extended so that the same parameter can be used for future-defined 
flags. Probably a good idea, but leaving the choices `t=y` is ugly (not 
mnemonic).

t= is for toggle switches.

Besides hoping to have every tag match a first word mnemonic is doomed
to fail in the end, is it not? Especially since the are already
non-mnemonic for everyone on the planet except english readers.
