Both canonicalizations appear not to handle the empty message (headers only) properly. Needs to be verified.

    I think that this is a known ambiguity in the RFC. See this thread for details:

    Consensus was reached at the interop event that "relaxed" should handle the empty body as the empty input, while "simple" should canonicalize a single CRLF.

    We need to take this back to the working group. I'll amend libdkim to apply that consensus for now.

    The canonicalization appears correct for "relaxed". The attached patch fixes it for "simple".
