I'm not sure what my opinion is on that last point, but on the first
point I think it's best to define an identifier that's specifically
for ADSP's use, if we want that function.  Some signers may give that
tag the same value they give i=, and there's no harm done.  Some
signers may use a different value, which would demonstrate the wisdom
of separating them.

Seems like a reasonable way to avoid the i= fight. If there's
interest,
I can whip up a new ADSP draft with an r= tag.


I view introducing a new tag at this point as problematic. 

Using i= or even going to using d= does not require any changes to
current DKIM signing implementations. Introducing a new tag means that
implementers are at the mercy of the timeframes that vendors choose to
change how they sign DKIM.

As I have said before, I can personally accept using d= because of how
we chose to implement DKIM signing for our domains. I lean towards i=
for ADSP because I believe it gives others benefits.
