What is surreal about this brush back to make a SIMPLE change is that
it touches base with the often stated concern about DKIM DNS
management complexities as one of the barriers for adoption.

In a perfect DKIM spec world, this section should cover the expected
markets of DKIM operators to decrease the barriers:

   o Creating Public/Private Keys

    If your DKIM software does not offer public/private key
    management, there are tools available to help:

    - using OpenSSL
    - using CAPI

    o Publishing Public Key for brisbane._domainkey

    - Using ISP managed DNS zones
    - Using your *nix wienies DNS server zones
    - Using your Windozes DNS Server zones

Instead, its only:

    o Creating Public/Private Keys using OpenSSL
    o Publishing Public Key for brisbane for *nix wienies

But the issue posting is not asking to get crazy with idealism. Only a
simple clarification is all that is needed.

-1. I suggest to add clarifications etc. to a future update of RFC5863 
(deployment and operations document).
