[ietf-dkim] errata revision: Identity Assessor vs. Message Filtering engine

2009-03-25 20:08:36
Folks,

The following is offered to prime the discussion/decision process for the one of
the pending Errata items, developed in the SF working group meeting. It reflects
what I heard as the gist of the group preference. Obviously, I might have
entirely misunderstood...

So, anything that permits progress is encouraged, such as "looks good", "change
x to y", and "replace the whole thing with this different chunk of text".  There
are no doubt other constructive responses, but this ought to establish the 
tone...


"Old" refers to the Errata I-D; "New" is the proffered replacement.

CAVEAT:

    This last-of-three postings affects the same section of text as the 
Assessor 
revision posting, but attends to a different issue.  I've only just gotten 
clarification on what this third item was to be, so here's another apology for 
a 
bit of confusion.

    Had I remembered all 3 items I would have tried to merge this with the 
other 
Assessor change, which is what the current note attempts:


8.  RFC4871 Section 2.11 Identity Assessor


    Old:
       The name of the module that consumes DKIM's primary payload, the
       responsible Signing Domain Identifier (SDID).  It can optionally
       consume the Agent or User Identifier (AUID) value, if provided to
       the module.

    New:
       The name of the module that consumes DKIM's mandatory payload, the
       responsible Signing Domain Identifier (SDID). The module is dedicated
       to the assessment of the delivered name.  Other DKIM (and non-DKIM)
       values can also be delivered to this module as well as to a more general
       message evaluation filtering engine. However this additional activity
       is outside the scope of the DKIM signature specification.


OK.  Start shooting.
