Re: [ietf-dkim] #4: non-ascii header text

The problem with switching to RFC5890 is the potential that that constitutes 
an
actual protocol change of a type not allowed for going to Draft Standard.

I asked my IDNA expert, who said that the definitive answer is "it 
depends".  He suggests our chair ask our AD to check with the IESG.

I just looked through my three year archive of DKIM signatures and as far 
as I can tell, I've literally never seen one with an IDN, much less one 
with an IDN that would be different, so I think we can make a plausible 
argument that the practical change is imperceptible.
