With all due respect, for the record, actually it was the original 
editors/authors:

      E. Allman
      J. Callas
      M. Delany
      M. Libbey
      J. Fenton
      M. Thomas

with the April 2006 draft-ietf-dkim-base-00 original text.  Updated in 
August 2006 base-05 draft update to clarify the 2nd paragraph in 
particular regarding Unix (LF) vs DOS (CRLF) translation requirements, 
and it (correctly) has remained that way since then.   This 
unfortunate issue is with new editors trying to change it and then 
labeling the WG for not understanding RFC2119 as a reason.
