Since we're talking about possibly WGLCing base, there's an issue that
needs to be resolved. In section 3.4.4, there's this note:
3.4.4 The "relaxed" Body Canonicalization Algorithm
[[This section may be deleted; see discussion below.]] The "relaxed"
body canonicalization algorithm: ....
[[NON-NORMATIVE DISCUSSION: The authors are undecided whether to
leave the "relaxed" body canonicalization algorithm in to the
specification or delete it entirely. We believe that for the vast
majority of cases, the "simple" body canonicalization algorithm
should be sufficient. We simply do not have enough data to know
whether to retain the "relaxed" body canonicalization algorithm or
not.]]
Do we have enough data yet to make a decision on this? Do we have data
to back things up, one way or the other? Do we have proof of cases where
a relaxed body passes verification but a simple body does not?
Are any MTAs currently *signing* using relaxed bodies? If yes, then the
answer to the above question is moot and we should keep it.
I have the ability to sign with a relaxed body, but I don't have any
data as to whether it makes any difference -- simple _seems_ to be
working pretty well though. Maybe this would be a good thing to
just leave in and decide to remove at draft standard time?
