Would an appropriate part of this output be a "standard" test suite for implementations to try, i.e. a batch of test messages and their expected body and header hashes? There are vague reports of interoperability issues starting to surface, and I wonder how proactive the WG can be in assisting resolution of these. Debugging interoperability problems is often a chore, especially when unresponsive vendors are involved. Nipping these problems before they get out into the wild is possibly the best course of action. If this isn't a reasonable WG output, the implementers can probably come up with such a test suite among themselves, but it seems to me there's a lot of audience overlap anyway... -MSK _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
