Re: [ietf-dkim] Issue 1530 - replace use of term "suspicious"

Take your pick:

I don't have a problem with "exception" in this case. I believe that
it describes what is happening accurately.

How about something like "SSP Exception"? Metaphorically, it works
well with the programming use of the word exception.

Folks,

In the hope of trying to close some of the "easy" Issues, would folks
comment on this specific proposal, or otherwise post comments seeking
closure of the Issue?
My suggestion is to just to take the exception/violation reason. For
example, "all-exception", "strict-exception", "nxdomain-exception"
and the like. A single word even if it's value-neutral gives the wrong
impression that all exceptions/violations/suspicion should be given
the same weight. Just saying what it is that went wrong doesn't
do that.

Agree that a name change is in order, and that we need more than a
binary 1/0 result.

But "exception" makes it sound like a kernel panic or something.  Hector
had some alternative interpretations of "exception" too.  My
suggestion:  "non-compliant"/"compliant".

   My original suggestion was "violation" which still works with nxdomain
   and other states. I could live with exception though.
