Given this, I'd say we should list "l=" as a MAY, and advise signers

implemented but the verifier had a strict policy on its use and your 
message violated it. Thus, we've defined it, but we don't promise it 
will be universally useful.


For l=, a MAY for signers produces a MUST for verifiers.

If a signer bases their signature on use of an l= value, then the signature 
will 
fail if the verifier does not implement it.
