It's my belief that DKIM selectors don't allow CNAME's. Am I correct?

First off, lets suppose DKIM's query mechanism were a lot like it is 
today, but
the base mechnism didn't have CNAME's. Suppose that somebody proposed
that we should introduce them as a feature. What are:

[ the costs, risks, benefits ]

While interesting, as a practical matter, most verifiers would have to
go to extraordinary length to reliable detect CNAMEs so I think the
question is mostly moot unless it can be shown that there is a risk
unique to DKIM.


Mark.
