Yes, and if there were a proposal for standardizing something that

Since the people I know involved with DKIM expect it to be plenty useful
without third party reputation services, I'm not sure what your point is.
Well, they may expect it to be, but I haven't heard any arguments
along those lines that I find convincing.
Demanding reputation systems for DKIM is approximately like saying that
SMTP depends on solving the problem of getting mail into users' mailboxes.
Every SMTP server has to have a way to get the mail into the mailboxes,
but we've been getting by without a standard way to do it for 25 years and
SMTP seems to be usable anyway.
I generally find arguments by analogy fairly unconvincing.
This is one such argument.
