3.  Section 2.8 Signing Domain Identifier (SDID)

   Original Text:   (None.  Additional text.)

   Corrected Text:   A single, opaque value that is the mandatory   
payload output of DKIM and which refers to the identity claiming   
responsibility for the introduction of a message into the mail stream.

'---

Although the i= (UAID) value can be opaque in respect to the actual  
identity being referenced,  the signing domain d= (SDID) is not  
opaque.  A domain that returns valid keys should not be considered  
opaque.

The corrected text could be:

The d= value (SDID) contains the domain that locates a public key per  
RFC 4971.  A signature confirmed with this key verifies the domain  
applied the signature to claim responsibility for the introduction of  
the message into the mail stream.
