[ietf-dkim] Base issue: multiple linked signatures

[Hallam-Baker, Phillip]

I think we have to weaken it since it is not an interoperability issue. If I choose to give you information I cannot regulate the use you make of it (absent DRM).

A MUST NOT has a particular meaning for us, in particular when auditing code. I cannot create a test suite that audits this particular MUST NOT. I cannot enforce it in a layered API without going to extraordinary and unnatural lengths.
