Hector Santos followed up Crocker'ss passing of the buck:

Please refrain from passing the buck to the WG. The document editors
are:

    D. Crocker (editor)
    Tony Hansen (editor)
    M. Kucherawy (editor)

If the WG was technically incapable as you are implying, then the
*onus* was on the editors to make sure it was writing correctly.

Given that it's been pointed out the use of SHOULD in this case
is entirely appropriate, I'm happy to accept blame on behalf of 
the other authors for getting it right.

With all due respect, for the record, actually it was the original 
editors/authors:

      E. Allman
      J. Callas
      M. Delany
      M. Libbey
      J. Fenton
      M. Thomas

with the April 2006 draft-ietf-dkim-base-00 original text.  Updated in 
August 2006 base-05 draft update to clarify the 2nd paragraph in 
particular regarding Unix (LF) vs DOS (CRLF) translation requirements, 
and it (correctly) has remained that way since then.   This 
unfortunate issue is with new editors trying to change it and then 
labeling the WG for not understanding RFC2119 as a reason.
