something prematurely.

This is a good point.

But also, speaking of ossification, seems like it'd be far more annoying in the 
long run to create DOSETA as something entirely parallel to DKIM, and have DKIM 
not reference it -- in other words, two nearly-identical parallel 
specifications.

It's not an easy or obvious decision, and I appreciate that we're having a 
frank and friendly discussion about it.
