In reviewing the documents prior to the meeting today, I noticed an
oddity in draft-ietf-dkim-overview-09. The intro to section 5 says
"The MSA signs the message..." and "The MDA verifies the
signature...". However, this isn't necessarily true, and in fact
conflicts with 3.1.2 (Implementation Locality), 5.2 (Signing), 5.3
(Verifying), and 5.6 (DKIM Placement within an ADMD).
If those words are intended to be relative to just the DKIM service
then I suggest other wording such as "DKIM Signing Agent (DSA)" and
"DKIM Verification Agent (DVA)".
