[ietf-dkim] Everything not forbidden is permitted

Just some clarification, there is no way for an outsider to query this record if you don't know it exists? The selector basically hides the record from DNS in comparison to SPF which is easy to find in a DNS zone.

Chatting with people offlist the issue of whether there is such a 
thing as a good or bad DKIM record came up. 

I'm trying to get a feel for peoples views on that so, to give a 
concrete example, if your postmaster came to you with this DKIM record 
they wanted you to publish in DNS, would you publish it as-is? If not, 
why not? 

september2006._domainkey.example.com 300 IN TXT "version=DKIM1; a=rsa- 
sha1; c=simple/simple; hash=sha1; t=testing; p=MIGfMA0G<more base64 
gunk>;" 

Cheers, 
Steve
