DKIM violates basic software design principles.
You mean a simple, utility-specific, easily-implementable specification goes against the grain of basic software design principles? Is that like saying a hammer is a bad choice for driving nails because it's not flexible enough to apply paint to walls? I guess my question is: Why do you want greater extensibility? What problem are you wanting to solve? Is the specific problem that DKIM attempts to address, not important enough and not complex enough to justify having a simple, tailored solution?
