Again, that is completely, and demonstratively, wrong. If you remove 
the selector from the DNS, verification fails predictably at the time 
the recipient tries. The x= semantics say that a signature can be 
valid at one moment and invalid at the next. Note the difference 
between those two.

This is solved by using the Message Reception Time, rather than the
current time. See my proposal on this change.
