change to:

While use of l= should be depreciated, it seems disruptive to have this mechanism possibly induce the rejection of messages. The general goal should have all DKIM compliant MTA make the same basic choice of whether a mechanism is acceptable or not.

Agree. This is the only place where rejecting the message based on verification faults is mentioned.
