An overview is not the place for normative statements. Can we discuss this in person in Chicago?


Eliot, et al,

I think your response highlights the dilemma: There is the title (and the original intent) and there is (possibly) a different reality to the current content. On the theory that the current content is, in fact, useful, something needs to be reconciled.

That's why I noted that the content has moved more towards an integrated system-level (or service-level) description of DKIM.

Take a look over the document for the various must/should/may language and note that much of it seems like reasonable directives to folks seeking to integrate a DKIM service component into their email software and operations.

That might well qualify as a service specification, along the lines that the IETF frequently publishes as standards-track.
