Re: [ietf-dkim] New Issue: Third parties in "overview"

Given that we have zero track record with this, quite a number of reasonable 
combinatorial uses, and a changing sense of the trust-overlay space for email 
transit, I suspect we should all be cautious about making any guesses of what 
will be "interesting"...

"third-party" can be confusing.
Later in the draft and after posting the issue I saw
"non-author".  That's also fine, but the interesting
case isn't an "originating operator" (that is still
end-to-end), but signatures by mediators.

And how would receivers tell the difference between these scenarios?

My position is don't assign different semantics to scenarios that
are indistinguishable to receivers.
