It is far safer to assume that any of the signed headers might be broken, and to encourage systems (such as mailing lists) that are known to break DKIM signatures to sign after they break them.

And then what?

And then the receiver validates the signatures.

Everybody wants to hand-wave this issue away with the majikal "list signature",
but the reality is that they are not obviously useable to somebody who has
actually written lots of code in this area.

They are not usable today because the -00 spec does not say how to handle multiple signatures. That can, and should, be changed in the spec.
