Fully disagree. The current protocol (a TXT record that is only used in namespaces that are specific to the DKIM protocol) is sufficient.

If there were a namespace registry regarding these labels, there would be less concern. It is ironic this names space is already being shared by a separate application called DomainKeys and there are already parameter conflicts. : (


Depending upon how this record is used and what it contains, base64 encoding might exceed the 512 byte message limit, as previously explained in detail.

The numbers were rather detailed. Did you find an error in the assessment? Other than believing 2048 bit keys will not be used, what would be the basis for disagreement?
