I'm just not getting (from reading the text of 7601 several times today)
how including an extra ptype makes a "normative redefinition" of 7601.
RFC7001 clearly says that additional ptypes are expected over time. If
anything, we're considering a "normative redefinition" of 6008 which talks
about listing info for more than one DKIM header, but I think the term is a
misnomer.

It appears to me that the "7601 replaces all former definitions" work was
just incompletely implemented by IANA. We can certainly patch over those
gaps as we care about the data for ARC within our spec, but it seems like
having an IANA errata for 7601 would be a cleaner and more apropos vehicle.
