My reading of the concern is specifically that the statement of DKIM's goal has 
been refined over time and that all that might be useful for the current 
document is to cite that fact and, perhaps, compare original versus current 
statements.  The appendix to do that would be very short.  It perhaps should 
cite the incremental changes across the sequence of wg documents and explain the 
salient meaning of the change, but in informative and not normative terms.

If there is more material at issue, what is it?
