could be read to mean some domain registration rules can be counted
upon for this purpose. Practically speaking, I don't think this is
true at all.
Would s/bounded/limited/ fix the problem?
I am thinking "no." DKIM's ability to identify a domain owner is not
limited by registration authority rules because there may be or will
be reputation services separate from the registration authority.
Precisely. We need to separate what DKIM does from what reputation
services do.
Besides, I don't think DKIM is ever identifying the owner of a domain
name since that information is not in DNS. If the Acme Widget company
has the domains acmewidgets.com, acme-widgets.com, and
acme-widgets-inc.com, there is nothing in DNS that tells me all three
are owned by Acme Widgets (well, nothing you can rely upon).
You're right. The information is contained within the registries.
Whether a recipient can access that information ALSO depends on the
registry policies.
