Re: [Ietf-dkim] Question about lone CR / LF

RFC 6376 says what to do with 5322 messages. It says nothing about
what to do with blobs of bytes that are sort of like but not quite
5322 messages. It even has a few places that remind us of that, e.g.,
in section 5.3 it reminds us that if the local file convention uses
just CR or LF, change them to CRLF before doing anything else.

I can see that you have strong opinions about what a DKIM verifier
should do with those non-5322 blobs, but I don't see what the basis
for that is, and for that matter, I don't really understand what you
expect code to do with them.  Why is "stop and report failure" any
less valid than anything else?
