That is quite different from tossing out over-the-wire backward
compatibility.

I have not seen the group agree that a sender of an (ESTG) DKIMv1
signature will fail with an (IETF) DKIMv2 validator.

Dave,

'nowsp' canonicalization does not exist in "DKIMv2" (-base-01).  It was
eliminated, rather than deprecated, because it created a vulnerability. 
While some -base-01 verifiers may implement legacy nowsp support, a
fully compliant -base-01 verifier may not work with a -base-00 signature
that uses nowsp canonicalization.
