An Abstract is circulated as the primary document summary. As such, it
should contain text that concisely explains the scope of the problem covered
by the document and the nature of the solution defined in the document.
The draft Abstract should be revised, per draft-levine-dkim-adsp-00:
> OLD:
>
> DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) defines a domain-level
> authentication framework for email using public-key cryptography and
> key server technology to permit verification of the source and
> contents of messages by either Mail Transport Agents (MTAs) or Mail
> User Agents (MUAs). The primary DKIM protocol is described in
> [RFC4871]. This document describes the records that authors' domains
> can use to advertise their practices for signing their outgoing mail,
> and how other hosts can access those records.
>
> NEW:
>
> DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) defines a domain-level
> authentication framework for email to permit verification of the
> source and contents of messages. This document specifies an adjunct
> mechanism to aid in assessing messages that do not contain a DKIM
> signature for the domain used in the author's address. It defines a
> record that can advertise whether they sign their outgoing mail, and
> how other hosts can access those records.
