And if we are not going to fix ADSP (yet), then the only way we can stop
that particular exploit is to fix DKIM.

Arguing that "ADSP is a completely separate discussion" will achieve
nothing.

If that's consensus, then we're on the slippery slope of "fixing" DKIM  
to deal with flaws at all layers above it.  And we'll never be done.

If you want to fix ADSP first, then let us hear your proposals, and when  
we have fixed it we can then go back to finalizing 4871-bis.

But may I ramind you that you alreade said:

The current effort has everything to do with moving DKIM to draft  
standard, and nothing at all to do with handling ADSP issues.

In which case we have no option but to fix it in DKIM.
