Re: [ietf-dkim] Proposal for new text about multiple header issues (why multiple h= singleton listing is an ineffective hack, why RFC 5322 compliance is a fuzzy term, and what about malformed MIME structures?)

At this point, it would be helpful if you could propose specific language

helpful if you could say in detail what a DKIM signer and verifier should
do if presented with, say, a Windows executable file.  Not a MIME encoded
message body containing one, just an EXE file.  If you don't require 5322
compliance or something close to it, that's as legitimate a signing
candidate as anything.

Uh, ok, you're right.  I guess I should have stopped arguing since 
this thread became a dialogue among deaf people --I would have done so 
if I had seen any other sign of progress on this subject.

BTW, I haven't yet tried to submit that EXE file to the DKIM software 
I use.  I will.  I hope we all agree that the spec's better not 
contain phrases such as "an implementation SHOULD crash..." :-/
