The point is that the WG has to be able to make changes to DKIM and to
address valid technical issues in DKIM.   Failure of DKIM to
interoperate with mailing lists is a bona fide technical issue, one
which IMHO would block it from becoming Proposed Standard.

Now having said that, I'd very much like to see a set of guidelines for
mailing lists that discouraged munging of originator-supplied content.
But I think we're going to be stuck with subject munging for a while.
