There has been talk of applying DKIM to technologies like Usenet and
HTTP
output. Packing DKIM with mail-specific verification requirements
could
prevent such things from happening. Shall we also add a "but only
when
used in the email context" clause?
Seeing as the M in DKIM stands for Mail, we don't have to put a "but
only when used in the email context" clause. If a DKIM like approach is
used for other protocols then we might reasonably text specific to those
protocols - DKIH (Domain Keys Identified HTML as an example).
Yep. Or other protocols will use parts of DKIM. Like with MIME
(Multipurpose Internet /Mail/ Extensions); it has been used by other
protocols as well.
