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

+1.  What was intended was really "author" as the term is used in RFC 2822.

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.
