DKIM TTPs (was Re: [ietf-dkim] editorials and nits)

The query mechanism could certainly point to an alternate retrieval
mechanism such as http for long policy statements.

Unless keys are queried through a different mechanism?

(Given the desire to allow extensibility in the choice of query
mechanisms, it
is worth being very clear about this.)

The DNS name *registration* mechanism is inherently essential to DKIM.

The DNS name *query* mechanism is certainly going to be essential to
initial
operation, but is it an inherent requirement long-term?
