As suggested in the interim meeting I put together some proposed language
to clarify the forwarding/intermediary use-cases. First PR
<https://github.com/dkim2wg/spec/pull/12> just updates the language to be
more explicit around re-starting the chain and what "must not forward the
message" means. The second PR <https://github.com/dkim2wg/spec/pull/13> defines
body-authentic so we have shared language and definition around the
modifying without munging case. It does not define any handling based on
the case but this will allow us to have the discussion around updating
DMARC with a clear definition. Note, that it does ignore changes to the
Subject, which seems okay since those are less likely to generate phishing
risks.

In terms of handling forwarding cases during the adoption phase, I do think
that Wei's draft on localized header fields
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chuang-dkim2-localized-header-fields/>
will be helpful to support complex multi-hop forwarding cases. Having a
versioned history of authentication-results is nice. But, to keep things
simpler it should be enough to lean for now on Bron's (hopefully soon to be
adopted) Authentication-Results
<https://github.com/dkim2wg/spec/blob/main/draft-gondwana-dkim2-authres.mkd>
for the majority of forwarding cases.

Best,
Emanuel
