I agree with Richard here: The reformulation opens the door to a
great deal of nonsense. I fundamentally disagree with making such a
change.
In what way? It seems to me that wholesale wheel-reinvention is what
usually leads to nonsense.
The original in Murray's version says, "The working group will observe
the success of current technologies, primarily DKIM, reusing its
techniques where applicable, to develop a new technology suite that
seeks to address these concerns." That proscribes wholesale
wheel-reinvention already; the WG will reuse the technology where
applicable. The reversal in the proposed change is the problem: Only use
different mechanisms when it is infeasible (I think some may read
"impossible") not to. That's too high a bar.
