[ietf-dkim] 1193 considered harmful

Russ,

I am not sure what topic you think was addressed.  Since no one has suggested 
that the working group effort lacks authority to make changes I can't guess what 
you are referring to.

Since there already are voices making clear that the question of compatibility 
is important, here, and since asking that question does not imply that the 
outcome is pre-determined, I am really curious why Stephen and now you seem so 
focused on it.

Who has been trying to "stifle discussion or innovation" and how have they been 
doing that?

If you answer is "no one" then why did you feel it necessary to utter this 
directive?
