You mean that the careful semantics that we tried to use, in not 
directly saying what we wanted or what was really going to to happen 
with 'suspicious or non-compliant" was a problem?

I see no difference in SSP::DKIM=STRICT or ASP::DKIM=DISCARDABLE, other 
than one was "beating around the bunch" but all verifiers know what was 
the ultimate outcome and this other is being more specific.

This is really all very strange.
