And therein lies the real problem:  A collection of people outside the 
constituency that wants to USE this output are pressing to explore a variety 
of "requirements" for upfront analysis about possible output.

We could spend an infinite amount of resources and time dealing with the 
infinite number of ways DKIM can be misunderstood and misused.

While it is always useful to try to guard against the truly likely problems 
with a specification (and the service using it) it is simply not reasonable 
to place an upfront requirement to do this before the actual technical work 
is authorzed.
