Subject: Re: [ietf-dkim] Output summary - Mandatory Outputs

Rather I am highlighting the limited DKIM output requirements is
outdated and  insufficient to support today's (extended) DKIM mail
integration and security needs outlined by WG consensus-built RFC
documents:

      DKIM Security Assessment  (RFC4686)
      DKIM Service Architecture (RFC5585)
      DKIM Deployment Guideline (RFC5863)
      DKIM Signing Practices    (RFC5617)
      DKIM Reporting using A-R  (RFC5451)

Please show me any citation in RFC5451 that demonstrates your claim.

Here is a way to view the old vs new design dilemma:

      SMTP vs ESMTP (Extended SMTP)

We have decades of engineering foresight to not repeat completing a
protocol design with an outdated limited output scope especially when
extensions are already available.

And we're not.  To use your analogy: DKIM returns a status and "d="; extended 
DKIM (whatever that means) can return that and more.  We're updating the 
specification of DKIM here, not declaring what extended DKIM might be.

It works just fine.
