But this is the issue being discussed. These are serious security concerns. There is zero containment of local-part namespace between any subdomains. This too becomes a serious concern and is one of the problems created. Even if a higher level domain wanted to do DKIM safely, the MUA signing feature would be a disaster as a result of this dubious feature.

The WG already accepted the feature after active discussion. Trying to use the Security Considerations section to make the feature seem "dubious" feels like an attack on the WG consensus process.
