[ietf-dkim] Requirements comment: Bigbank example description

2006-08-09 10:02:43
I went through the draft and marked it up.  I'll break these up into 
individual messages for each comment.  I'll start with a context diff of the 
draft and proposed changes and then give a discussion of why...

*** 321,328 ****
     unsigned outweights the risk of illegitimate mail being delivered in
     the eyes of the sender.

!    1.  A purportedly sends to B with a missing or broken DKIM signature
!        from A

     2.  B would like to know whether that is an acceptable state of
         affairs.

!    1.  Mail with a RFC2822.From A is sent to B with a missing or broken
!        DKIM signature

     2.  B would like to know whether that is an acceptable state of
         affairs.
***************

I think that saying mail with an RFC2822.From A is clearer than A purportedly 
sends.  Also, Purported is used in Sender ID PRA (Purported Responsible 
Address) and so use of that word in this context might be confusing for some.
