Dave,
This document fine except for the following section
"Usually, email is i/o-intensive, with unused
computational capacity. So, it is likely that no new hardware will
be required."
This should be deleted. For example if others in my organization who
have not followed the mailing list were to see that paragraph they would
conclude that the WG did not have a clear understanding of today's large
mail environment and would tend to resist implementation efforts. The
paragraph above that gives a 10 to 15% processing utilization should
speak to what cpu, what architecture those numbers came from if we are
going to include any numbers at all.
Thanks,

Title : DomainKeys Identified Mail Overview
Author(s) : T. Hansen, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-dkim-overview-00.txt
Pages : 30
Date : 2006-6-22
DomainKeys Identified Mail DKIM [I-D.ietf-dkim-base] defines a
domain-level authentication framework for email using public-key
cryptography and key server technology to permit verification of
the
source and contents of messages by either Mail Transfer Agents
(MTAs)
or Mail User Agents (MUAs). The ultimate goal of this framework is
to permit a signing domain to assert responsibility for a message,
thus proving and protecting message sender identity and the
integrity
of the messages they convey while retaining the functionality of
Internet email as it is known today. Proof and protection of email
identity, including repudiation and non-repudiation, may assist in
the global control of "spam" and "phishing".
This document provides an overview of DomainKeys Identified Mail
and
how it can fit into overall messaging systems, how it relates to
other IETF message signature technologies, implementation and
migration considerations, and outlines potential DKIM applications
and future extensions.
