Ah thanks, I like that much better.
I suggest:
INFORMATIVE IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:
The DKIM specification advises that if a message fails
verification, it should be
treated as an unsigned message. A verifier may elect to report
"neutral" instead of
"fail" to discourage needlessly harsh reactions from downstream
agents such as message
rejection based on a "fail" result.
