I don't know anyone who's checked whether DKIM validators verify the version number, but if it's an issue, there aren't that many widely used DKIM engines so it wouldn't be hard to check. Just FYI, libdkim which all our products use does check the v= and if it's not v=1 verification fails

When DKIM-Delegate is used, there are two, valid signatures for the same domain. One is 'stronger'. The scenario being discussed is for a recipient who gets both signatures when they are valid, but who does not know about DKIM-Delegate. They only know about DKIM. That's not a problem -- if it

If a signature has an rsf= tag, verifiers ignore it unless there's a matching signature from a domain the rsf= points to. This is not backward compatible, since verifiers that don't understand rsf= will often get the wrong answer, so it needs a version bump. Can't both the version
