By why would be resending my original DKIM-signatures in your 2822 headers?

Can you outline the serious TECHNICAL flaws?

See above. And that's only one of numerous examples where "domain owner controls all author addresses everywhere" is
utter dubious.

Again, I ask, where is SSP flawed?

What you are saying the multiple co-authors allowance was flawed to begin with.

The fact is, in most x822/non-x822 gateway systems, it is incompatible as MOST online electronic mail systems has only a 1 single author concept. Anyone who say there were wrong for PRE-EXISTING as such for many years is not correct.

But thats besides the point.

If you very this from a protocol consistency standpoint, in terms of DKIM signatures and the expectations, where is the applicability of SSP against the co-author list flawed?

If you wish to say there are "implementation" and "feasibility" concerns, that is entirely different issue. But issue 1521 can not be views as solving that problem, because it makes things worst. Not better.

We been thru all this before.
