Do you have a mail2news -> news2mail scenario in your

I find it hard to't imagine one that wouldn't break any
sensible canon scheme. It's the same issue as mailing
list software.
Not necessarily, "message/news" is a proper subset of the
"message/rfc822" format, with "To:/Cc:/Bcc:" replaced by
"Newsgroups:" (simplified).
NetNews has a mandatory "From:", "Message-Id:", "Subject:",
and "Date:". It also has the normal optional "References:"
and "Sender:" header fields. News accepts any mail header
field that's not empty. The latter is relevant for "Bcc:"
and empty subjects.
DKIM wants to be independent of SMTP, working everywhere
for message/rfc822. That automatically covers digests in
the form of multipart/digest, but it should also work for
simple mail2news NetNews and maybe even application/mbox.
For the canocicalization that means to treat all cases of
field-name *WSP ":" [FWS] field-body like an eqivalent
field-name ":" SP *WSP field-body in the message header.
DKIM not working outside of SMTP mail would make it less
interesting, because SMTP efforts would be more efficient.
