DKIM lets anyone sign any message, with no necessary connection between

The semantics as well as definition of third party signatures are, to put it mildly, somewhat unclear. Some thought or actual experiments with such
signatures could be helpful.

Pat Peterson and Doug Otis expressed interest in this item.

Here is a description of an approach that could be used to associate
third-party signatures with signing-domains.  This draft describes the
technique.

This technique is intended to provide a comparison with other testing.
