Re: [ietf-dkim] Last call comment: Changing the g= definition

2010-10-13 11:55:27
   If a v= value is not found at the beginning of the DKIM key record,
   the key record MAY be interpreted as for DomainKeys [RFC4870].  The
   definition given here is upwardly compatible with what is used for
   DomainKeys, with the exception of the "g=" value.  In a DomainKeys
   key record, an empty "g=" value would be interpreted as being
   equivalent to DKIM's "g=*".
...
I'm not in favor of creating an ambiguity in the specification in order
to accommodate a limited number of domains that can make a very simple
correction to their key records.  Especially when the majority of these
domains are represented by a single email sending provider that
obviously hasn't even taken the trouble to see whether their signatures
verify.

What, specifically would you like to have done with the text?
