Re: [ietf-dkim] Issue 1576: Revise wildcard discussion

Frank Ellermann:
The version in ssp-04 IMO misses the following wildcard TXT points:
(1) There is no explicitly specified way to identify an ADSP record,
     when it comes as one of several TXT records in a q=txt reply.
     In the terminology of an IAB draft ADSP defines no TXT subtype.

Eliot Lear:
The authors have chosen the DKIM style of using _adsp.domain, which 
effectively provides for subtyping.  Do you not believe that is 
sufficient?  I'll argue that the use of _adsp is actually better in that 
you don't have to parse through a bunch of crap to get to the 
appropriate record (normally).  You still need the code checks, of course.

This _adsp subtyping does not work with wildcards, unless one has
a DNS server implementation that supports wildcards in the middle
such as _adsp.domainkey.*.example.com.
