As it stands, 4871 suffers from too much history, and as a result

everything about MUAs beyond mentioning the bare facts that MUAs can
do DKIM signing and verification. We should be able to produce docs
that are both clearer and shorter.
Thanks for providing me an opportunity to distinguish between making
"substantive" changes to the specification versus merely re-organizing things.
The current reorganization made NO substantive changes except bug fixes.
And so, for example, controversial items such as MUA discussion were preserved.
Although they might be worthy of further discussion, that discussion has
NOTHING to do with the current round of effort.
The closest the current effort came to "substantive" change is the choice for
what tags, etc. to include in one document versus the other.
