A designated signing domain list declared as open or closed would practically fulfill these requirements while also being explicit. There should be a distinction made between a designated signing domain and a non-designated (unknown third-party signing domain or "other"). "I sign only 3rd party" policy is obtained from the OA domain so this should be restated as:

"These are the signing parties (excluding my domain)"

"I sign all"
DSDL: <cox.com>
list-mode: closed

"I sign nothing"
DSDL: <>
list-mode: closed

"I sign only 3rd party" Policy is obtained from the OA domain so this should be restated into:

"These are the signing parties (excluding my domain)"
DSDL: <example.com>
      <example.org>
      <someother.domain>
list-mode: closed

"These are the signing parties (including my domain)"
DSDL: <cox.com>
      <example.com>
      <example.org>
      <someother.domain>
list-mode: closed

"I sign some mail"
DSDL: <cox.com>
list-mode: open

As stated earlier, this name list approach may also offers benefits when evaluating the message envelope.
