        Since ARC uses the same technology as DKIM and uses it in
        pretty much
        the same was, my understanding is that it, too, has the
        potential for
        replay.  Having a reference to this fact makes sense to me.

        It doesn't need more than a mention, at this point, I believe,
        which
        makes the current quick, reference exactly the right text, IMO.

    I realize there are some mixed opinions on ARC, but it's actively
    used on several of the world's largest email systems - some of the
    same ones where DKIM replay attacks are focused - so it's worth
    consideration as part of the solution space. It may not end up
    being a viable option, but now isn't the time to write it off.


Speaking only as a participant:

I also don't think a comment like "ARC has the same problem, for largely the same reasons" is by itself harmful here.

What I think we should be sure to avoid is expending WG energy trying to solve this problem in ARC-space.  That, I would argue, is outside the charter.

I see that they took out a lot of other mentions in this rev, but I have a real problem with editorializing that ARC does this or ARC does that which is to say the least, controversial. It's really not germane to this wg and imo the easiest thing to do is nothing at all wrt ARC.
