Subject: [ietf-dkim] Proposed new charter
[...]
2. Collect data on the deployment, interoperability, and
effectiveness of the base DKIM protocol, with consideration
toward updating the working group's informational documents.
Would an appropriate part of this output be a "standard" test suite for
implementations to try, i.e. a batch of test messages and their expected body
and header hashes?
There are vague reports of interoperability issues starting to surface, and I
wonder how proactive the WG can be in assisting resolution of these. Debugging
interoperability problems is often a chore, especially when unresponsive
vendors are involved. Nipping these problems before they get out into the wild
is possibly the best course of action.
If this isn't a reasonable WG output, the implementers can probably come up
with such a test suite among themselves, but it seems to me there's a lot of
audience overlap anyway...
