chronic tendency to understatement. So, no I don't believe his
statement has any such implication,
The authors do not have to agree to every word in their draft if the
document is the work of a WG. It is laudable that authors include
material they may not fully agree with. I appreciate John Levine's candidness.
Quoting part of the message from the DKIM Chair:
"Then there's the question of where ADSP stands, and whether it can
proceed as is,
or needs to be changed in light of the "errata". Pasi may have
some comments on
this, and I know the working group will. We've been holding ADSP
up for a while,
and we need to release it and move it forward."
The WG will probably be asking the IETF community to review and
comment on the ADSP draft. If one of the authors has serious
concerns about that draft, it is better to have them voiced out now
so that the WG can decide where ADSP stands.
Regards,
