Re: [ietf-dkim] layer violations, was detecting header mutations after signing

Perhaps surprisingly, having redundant header fields does not make DKIM break.

We must have some vastly different definition of "break".

If allowing through modified messages that render very differently isn't broken, shouldn't we remove the advice against signing with l=0? The advice in favor of signing Subject: and To: fields? None of those has any technical effect on the ability of a verifier to compute and compare hashes.

If not, what's the difference, other than the fact that we thought of some of them several years ago and just noticed these last week?
