[EAI] Conclusion from Prague: Relation of UTF8SMTP gateways to DKIM

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand <harald at alvestrand.no>]

After discussing the matter in Prague, and receiving advice from people 
closely involved with the DKIM WG, the consensus of the WG room was that it 
was NOT a design goal for downgrading to make it possible to reverse-map 
("upgrade") the result in such a way as to make verification of digital 
signatures over the headers possible.

To be precise: When presented the following alternatives:

2 - Upgrade is needed in a recipient system, for display, reply and for 
checking signatures.

3 - Upgrade is needed in a recipient system, for display and reply only.

the count in the room was approximately 20 for option 3 and 1 for option 2.

As with all meeting consensus calls, this needs to be verified on the 
mailing list. Consider this the opening of a call for comments on the 
resolution.

                Harald, for the chairs
