It is a useful data point to note that I haven't had to make any alterations
to OpenDKIM as a result of either RFC5672 or the -bis changes.


1.  Has the working group been constantly careful to consider whether a change
was substantive and whether it might run afoul of the rules for going to Draft?

     Yes.


2.  Has the working group been reasonably diligent with develop the changes, 
including taking time to reflect on the changes and to consider criticisms of 
proposed changes?

     Yes.


3.  Are there any specific claims of non-conformance to Draft requirements that 
are unresolved by the wg?

     No.


With that sort of documented history, the responsibility to claim otherwise 
falls on the critic.  Otherwise the wg is essentially being asked to prove a 
negative and almost serves as a DOS attack...

Complaining is easy.  Trying to put the work on others is easy.  Doing 
foundational work to support a claim is not.
