Possible small change in 3.5 i= definition, 2nd paragraph change:

       The syntax is a standard email address where the Local-part MAY be

       subdomain of, the value of the "d=" tag.  If the public key
       contains t=s, then the domain part of the address MUST match
       the value of "d=" tag.

Repeating or rephrasing specification text invites divergent interpretations.

If folks believe that it is important to create a linkage between the two 
segments of text, then make the reference be linkage, not repetition.

So, for example:

    Note the constraint on the value of "i=" that is imposed by the "t=s" tag 
of 
the stored key record. (See Section 3.6.1).



Possible small change in 2.6:

    2.6.  Agent or User Identifier (AUID)

    A single identifier that refers to the agent or user on behalf of
    whom the Signing Domain Identifier (SDID) has taken responsibility.
    The AUID comprises a domain name and an optional<Local-part>.  The
    domain name is the same as that used for the SDID or is a sub-domain
    of it. If the public key contains t=s, then the domain name MUST
    be the same as SDID. For DKIM processing, ............

See above.
