Hi Stephen,

We've already had this very conversation, so we're aware of the issue.  The
text we have was an attempt to re-create the same constraints DKIM had,
preferring no changes, but not completely proscribing it either.  It sounds
like we have a little more text massaging to do to make it clear that's
where were trying to go.

Thanks,
-MSK
