[ietf-dkim] NEW ISSUE: Change "originator" to "author"

2007-12-09 10:42:35
2.3.  Originator Address

   The "Originator Address" is the email address in the From header
   field of a message [RFC2822], or if and only if the From header field
   contains multiple addresses, the first address in the From header
   field.

This means "Author", since RFC2822 uses the term Originator more broadly and
it does not seem advisable to have SSP define the term differently.

(FWIW, the email-arch draft is being changed to say 'author', also.)


All references in the SSP specification to "originator" need to be changed to "author", unless the reference really means rfc2822.sender, in which case they should be changed to that.
