[ietf-dkim] A few SSP axioms

[Damon]

I have a German Shepard, his purpose was not for protection but for
companionship.
Never once did I tell the pet store that I wanted a guard dog or that I
needed a pet for protection.
The really amazing thing is that... even though I did not specify it in any
way - he will keep you out of my house.
 I think if it is useful in "protecting", regardless of how it was intended
or mandated, it will be used that way. Unless you specifically design the
inherent protection out of it.

Damon Sauer
