I disagree.

"Age of domain" has its uses if you can get it.  RFCI listings
are also interesting.
 
In the end the most reliable way to detect and filter these
domains is actually based on ip address of the the server
hosting the website for the advertised and used domain

You can also use SURBL at the moment.

I'm not at all certain that doing reputation on per-domain
basis will be easy (in fact I think it would be more
difficult then on per-ip).

Depends, the white / grey hats will have stable domains.  The
bad guys use throw away domains.  Maybe SURBL forces them to
use redirections (that's of course irrelevant for DKIM).

claiming that this will allow us to stop spam (either
directly or indirectly putting all hope on
accreditation/reputation) are incorrect.

ACK, but nobody did that, a "threat analysis" for a FUSSP
would be rather simple :-)
