Subject: [ietf-dkim] ISSUE: Rename SSP to ASP

The practices that SSP describe are specific to the RFC2822 
From: header field, which defines the author of a message.  It 
does not seek to describe practices of other agents in email handling.

As such, the name of the specification should reflect its 
precise scope.  The current name of "Sender" Signing Practices 
is imprecise and misleading.

The name should be changed to Author Signing Practices (ASP).

If a name change is actually being considered I would suggest Author
Domain Signing Practices (ADSP) is actually more precise and
descriptive.
