No. Sigh. It's actually a good idea to do it. And your level of detail certainly makes the issues coherent, tangible and addressable. My quibble is over the timing and the newness of them. Not that such quibbles ever count for anything. > Now, of course, you may have a different opinion about the > importance of these issues, but just asserting that you (even for > large values of you) disagree isn't much of an argument. And isn't that a big part of the problem? These issues keep recurring, in large part because we (all of we) can only have opinions on some of them. What this sort of technology is doing, is putting in levers that some proponents think can be used to indirectly influence behavior. To put it crudely, if we can create a different mail experience, then senders and receivers will act differently. The impact reaches far beyond traditional technical issues - no surprise then that there are so many opinions on this stuff. The big surprise will be finding a way to resolve the different opinions. Do you think that's even possible? Mark. _______________________________________________ ietf-dkim mailing list http://dkim.org
