The working group last call will run through Friday, 22 October, 2010.

This implementation report will be used to advance the DKIM base spec
to Draft Standard.  Everyone please review it, and post
comments/issues. Please also post here if you've reviewed it and think
it's ready to go.


I have only one comment.  The removal of very significant data points 
from this last revision:

   Author vs. Third-Party:  73% of the signatures observed were author
        signatures, meaning the "d=" value in the signature matched the
        domain found in the From: header field.  The remainder, therefore,
        were third-party signatures.

   Originator signatures:  1.2 billion
   Third-party signatures:  184 million

This is signification information.

Why was it removed?  Why hide this significant fact?
