2. The mechanisms in DOSETA were designed for DKIM. If we are generalizing
along the lines that Dave has mentioned, I would prefer that DOSETA in

two separate applications for a time. Otherwise we run the risk of ossifying
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.
