Re: [ietf-dkim] [Editorial Errata Reported] RFC6376 (5260)

[Dave Crocker <[e-mail]>]

While possibly a nice addition to the specification, including this ABNF 
rule does not correct an error in RFC 6376.


As for header-field name case sensitivity, that is the purview of RFC 
5322, not RFC 6376.

(FWIW, it does appear that there is an error in RFC 5322, since it does 
not enforce case insensitity in the syntax, although it specifies -- and 
intends -- it in the prose.)
