Ned pointed out that we could add an indicator on a tag that means
that interpreting the tag is mandatory, so if the verifier doesn't
understand the tag, the verification fails.  This would decrease the
need for future version bumps.

So for example:

DKIM-Signature: v=2; a=rsa-sha1; c=relaxed/relaxed; s=s1024; d=sender.example;
   h=From:To:Date; l=0; !cs=fs; fs=t; 
   bh=...
   b=<this is a "weak" forwarding signature that covers part of the message>

The ! in !cs= means that the verifier MUST handle the cs= tag or fail the 
message.

R's,
John
