Although you can deploy DKIM-BASE today, speaking for myself, which my
customer have faith in, I can not in good conscious add DKIM-BASE into our
product line without securing signing Practices and Expectation behaviors.

I prefer not to repeat the ills of the pasts, nor repeat this process in the
future.  We are very close to achieving something that is probably not going
to happen again in our active careers.

SSP is rather very simple to code, not very complex at all.

But again, you are able to deploy DKIM-BASE today.  It is pretty much
complete.
