I did so in my original note in this thread.

Sorry - I'd forgotten. Though you did have two options there
and we need to pick one, as Mike did in his mail.

So - do we have consensus for Mike's text (below) or not?
(Which cannot be an informative note IMO - it has to be
normative, even if its a corner-case.)

Ta,

Mike's text (slightly edited):

"The canonical text can be thought of as a virtual representation of the
actual input. In particular, a body without any lines (ie, a null body) is canonicalized as a single CRLF, which its canonical length set to 2 (l=2). Note that the canonical length still applies to the canonical text so an input of:

Last-Header:<CRLF>
<CRLF>

No. a) It's creating a "surprise" CRLF when none previously existed. b) It differs from DK for no good reason.

Fair enough. So, given that there is confusion, what's your counter
proposal for clarifying text?

(BTW - I assume there are only two sensible things to do here, so
we can just get two text proposals and see which achieves rough
consensus.)
