  A secondary goal of DKIM is to validate a standard identity field, such as
RFC2822.From or RFC2822.Sender.


Stating this as a secondary goal appears to contradict the earlier
paragraph.  I.e.  The earlier paragraph implies that validating
RFC2822.From or RFC2822.Sender would be a primary goal.

I agree.
