Even though I do in fact sign all my mail with valid DKIM signatures, I 
can't say that with ADSP.  Perhaps there are people who consider that 
makes ADSP highly functional, but it seems an odd interpretation.

Deja-vu!

Geez John, you wrote this thing.  Either you believe in it or not.

The current abstract says:

  DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) defines a domain-level
  authentication framework for email to permit verification of the
  source and contents of messages.  This document specifies an adjunct
  mechanism to aid in assessing messages that do not contain a DKIM
  signature for the domain used in the author's address.  It defines a
  record that can advertise whether a domain signs its outgoing mail,
  and how other hosts can access that record.

it further says one in section 3.3. of the possible results are:

   o  All messages from this domain are signed with an Author Signature
      and discardable, i.e., if a message arrives without a valid
      Author Signature, the domain encourages the recipient(s) to
      discard it.

You clearly wrote in section 4.2.1:

    discardable   All mail from the domain is signed with an Author
                  Signature.  Furthermore, if a message arrives
                  without a valid Author Signature due to modification
                  in transit, submission via a path without access to
                  a signing key, or any other reason, the domain
                  encourages the recipient(s) to discard it.


Again it is repeated that the mail is "DISCARDED" when this policy is 
not met.

Is this not want you wrote?  Did you believe in it?

Is there something missing in your statement?
