It's my opinion that "strict" means far too many things to far too many people. Instead of rehabilitating the term, I'd far prefer that we pick something else and really define what it means. I'm not sure that I've achieved that and would appreciate help, but reverting back to the handle that nobody seems to agree on doesn't strike me as very helpful.



o  DKIM Strict: the state where the domain holder believes that all
  legitimate mail purportedly from the domain are sent with a
  valid DKIM signature and that non-compliant services are avoided.

What is difficult to understand with this definition? Is a definition needed for non-compliant services?


How does this differ from scenario #1?


This definition better pertains to scenario #1 than does DKIM Signer Complete which fails to offer assurances that non-compliant services are believed to have been avoided. This defined state allows greater clarity when attempting to differentiate between Scenario #1 and #2. The term "Strict" was borrowed from Eric's draft.

So is this an issue of just wanting to inject the word "strict" somewhere into scenario #1?
If so, I've already said why I don't think that's helpful.
