Subject: [ietf-dkim] Last minute MLM addition (6.8)

Section 6.8 proposes a binding between List-Post and the signing
domain:
[...]

Proposed replacement (rewording + List-Id addition):

 A signing MLM can make its role apparent by properly choosing the
 signing domain, the one used in the "d=" tag of the DKIM signatures
 added by the MLM.  Recognizing the role of a signer can be important
 for inferring the semantics of any signed content.  Two criteria are
 as follows:

 * A signature can be identified as pertaining to an aliasing or
   resending MLM if the domain-part of the List-Post field matches
   the signing domain.

 * When no List-Post field is present, a signature can be identified
   as pertaining to an authoring or digesting MLM if the right part
   of the List-Id matches the signing domain.

 These criteria are not required, however; it is believed the
 reputation of the signer will be a more critical data point rather
 than these suggested bindings.  Furthermore, these bindings are not
 recognized by any current specification document.

Works for me, with slightly changed wording of the second bullet point, thus:

"When no List-Post field is present, a signature can be identified as 
pertaining to an authoring or digesting MLM if the list-id-namespace (see 
[LIST-ID]) matches the signing domain."
