It's purely a strawman, but I sense that sub-setting a core might
help
us move forward. I am likely wrong, but it's a question I'd like
to ask.
My sense from reading the list traffic is that there are a lot of
differing opinions on what the subset might contain, with results
ranging from making SSP vaguely useful to actively hostile to DKIM
deployment.
So does that mean you are skeptical about the existence of a broadly
acceptable subset of SSP or merely that there might be contention
over what that subset is?
Given your participation level, I readily bow to your greater
knowledge of WG sentiment, but it seems to me that if there is no
acceptable subset, then you are in effect saying that the current SSP
is the minimalist possible functional spec. Is that what you are
saying? That the current SSP is indivisible?
In any event, I see Jon's suggestion as a divide-and-conquer
approach. If it moves us forward, I'm for it because at this stage I
suspect that progress is as important as substance.
Mark.
