In the real real world however the OpenSSL people usually, and thankfully, send a dedicated text-only message to a mailing-list which behaves like so. And (likely) will continue to behave like so. |DKIM2 they can also upgrade to not arbitrarily dropping parts of the \ |original message, whether that's HTML parts or attachments.

This is totally off-topic, and you (not for the first time) totally miss the point. Let me do that too. What about attached wireshark or tcpdump dumps to analyze network problems. What about (tar!) balls to distribute package changes that need patches or what (talking software package systems), what about quite a lot of different things. Hey, i get emails from my mother (images!!), i get emails from Jehovas Witnesses, and these are Microsoft-maniacs! (Meaning Word documents and large PDF files.) In short: really not. Having said that, for DKIM/ACDC (which uses compression, but which does not mean much for images etc; unless XML-based or so vector graphics, but most are png or jpg these days) the solution is very simple: DKIM/ACDC follows RFC 2231, and that means the differential changes header(s) become split numbered (say, shall be smaller 32KB), and need to be reassembled first. That is it about it. Like that only overall size limits bite.
