1. It shows legitimate due diligence. A real-world encounter suggests an operational problem and this note attends to it.

2. It dispatches the issue from the near-term IETF agenda, thereby relieving the working group from a hassle.

I tend to view both of these as practical effects. (And, yeah, I suspect I know the sort of thing you actually had in mind and no, I don't think this will deal with it.)


What would actually be better here, IMO, is to find out _how_ this
happened.

And my point #2, above, is exactly why I suggest it would *not* be better.

It is not the job of this wg to diagnose misbehaviors by s/w or operators. That's better done elsewhere, like

   dkim-dev <http://mipassoc.org/mailman/listinfo/dkim-dev> or

   dkim-ops <http://mipassoc.org/mailman/listinfo/dkim-ops>.
