Thanks Mark. I made the change as you suggest, but left the "... in a manner similar to the conventional use in domain names" part, since that seems to me to impart an intuitive sense of what is going on. Others may disagree....

Good thought about capitalization.  I've made that change.

In an attempt to clarify selectors and their interaction with DNS,
I've made the following changes to the draft:

Simplification suggestion:

Section 3.1, paragraph 3 now reads:

       Periods are allowed in selectors and are component
       separators. If keys are stored in DNS, the period defines
       DNS
                     When keys are retreived from the DNS, periods
in       selectors define DNS label boundaries. Selector components
might be used to combine...


Editorial nit. Since the term "selector" has special meaning in
the DKIM context, should it be capitalized as a noun?

This looks good. It gets confusing when the term selector is used interchangeably with tag on the reflector. Making selector capitalized could help.
