In other words, would folks prefer to:

A. Expedite publishing the Overview documents, in order to facilitate
development and deployment of the -base specification (with an update
later on for SSP), or

B. Defer the Overview document until the SSP specification is complete.

As you read through this, you will find that the stuff in it dealing
with SSP is only part way there. This is hardly unsuprising since SSP
itself is only part where there.

An outstanding issue from the last IETF was (quoting the minutes):

      Tony Hansen reviewed the status of the DKIM Overview document,
      and we got another "hum" from the room about preference to put
      the document out soon, to aid implementations of the DKIM base,
      with a possible second version later, covering subsequent
      topics...  or to publish the overview document only after the
      working group completes (or largely completes) the rest of its
      work.  The consensus was again not overwhelming, and was
      marginally in favour of publishing a first version now.

Given the lukewarm consensus before about publishing this document now
versus later, we didn't push hard one way or the other for the latest
update.

However, I'd like to hear some discussion on the issue: Should we put
out a version now (without the SSP references), or hold off until SSP is
totally finished?
