Subject: [ietf-dkim] Policy vs Practices
Both terms are bad, the term practices is much worse.
Policy is the term of art used to describe what the SSP
record is intended to do. It is directly analogous to
WS-Policy.
Practices in the context of PKI refers to the legal side
of the problem.
There is certainly a history of deprecating the role of
policy mechanisms in the IETF. Hence my attempt to create a
policy language that is absolutely minimal without
constraining utility.
Using the term 'practices' instead of policy is not going to
fool anyone, the objection is to the idea, not the name. The
term practices is higly loaded and has its own meaning and
will cause even more people to shudder.
