The term 'signing address' is used several places within -base, so it
might warrant being defined in section 2.  Since the first mention of it
is in the introduction, I'd propose that we add a forward reference in
the introduction.  So the second paragraph of section 1.2 would become:


DKIM uses a domain name as the key.  Domain names do the signing.

That DKIM has additional information and constraints is good and useful, but
does not turn any of those additions into an email address doing the signing.

At the least, this exchanges demonstrates that the concern I am raising is
significant.
