can you elaborate on what, in your view, would be part of this normative

merely as an example, I'll cite the usage of DKIM for subscription and
submission validation that has been mentioned a few times.  Formally, using 
DKIM
that way is almost certainly a value-added semantic that goes beyond the
semantics of the DKIM signing specification.  That's ok to do, but requires a
normative spec to define the behavior and meaning.
It seems this would require a charter change, since DKIM does not 
confirm the identity of the author.  Perhaps subscriptions could include 
an option presented to the subscriber asking how they wish their 
messages to be authenticated, where DKIM signed by domain X might be one 
such option.
