I guess I don't understand your point.

If the delegation of a domain name can be retargetted to another set of name servers, can't those name servers synthesize any necessary selectors such as with a wildcard?

I do agree that this problem is not specific to DKIM.

Yes.

I had forgotten about the d= in the signature, but the point
I was trying to make is that with SSP, all a TLD would need
to do is install a policy and it would cover the entire
DNS space that doesn't have a more specific policy. Sort of
like Verisign's "site finder" :) Registrars wield a lot of
power in the DNS world...
