  INFORMATIVE IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:

I'd rather not include those; although the DKIM WG liked them, I've 
managed to avoid them thus far.

  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.

That looks almost the same as what Dave had suggested, though without 
the normative language.  I'm fine with that.

Consensus?
