Re: [ietf-dkim] [Editorial Errata Reported] RFC6376 (5260)

2018-02-08 11:31:50
While possibly a nice addition to the specification, including this ABNF rule does not correct an error in RFC 6376.


As for header-field name case sensitivity, that is the purview of RFC 5322, not RFC 6376.

(FWIW, it does appear that there is an error in RFC 5322, since it does not enforce case insensitity in the syntax, although it specifies -- and intends -- it in the prose.)
