They're the parameters you need to complete verification, so they are data about the signature, not the specific signer. I'm sure you're not saying "a=" can be used to identify someone or something. > Having cross semantic correlation of what headers mean with the > presence of dkim signatures from various different signers seems > like a lot more of layer violation to me. That a DKIM hash covers a header field doesn't assign any new meaning to the field. It only guarantees its integrity. _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
