Re: [ietf-dkim] Consensus call on d=/i= clarification

  "Note:   ADSP is incompatible with valid DKIM usage in which a signer
      uses "i=" with values that are not the same as addresses in mail
      headers.  In that case, a possible workaround could be to add a
      second DKIM signature a "d=" value that matches the Author
      Address, but no "i="."

With the change, we may need to sign the message more than once in 
some circumstances if we are using the i= tag.  That's an extra 
overhead both for signers and verifiers.

Actually, you may have to sign twice if you want to use ADSP and you
happen to use i= values that don't match the From: address, regardless
of the semantics of your i=.  Even if you intend the i= to be e-mail
addresses, they still don't have to match the From: address.  That's
why I added the note you quoted.

Nothing in the proposed errata changes that.
