Care must be taken that no accountability is assumed on behalf of

Even if DKIM Signature does not make the signer responsible or
accountable, some people may infer it. Undesirable messages will
affect the reputation of the signing domain.
Agreed, the signer domain is where trust is established or lost.
There is a positive side with assigning accountably. Should a
different domain sign the message, then regardless of the From,
Sender, Resent-From, Resent-Sender or Bounce-address domains, the
signer domain remains fully accountable.
