"I sign some mail" doesn't tell the recipient anything useful.

What am I missing?

It says that you should look at email without a signature as being
"acceptable", unlike a "I sign all mail" which without a signature is
quite questionable.

How does that differ from a sender that doesn't have the
"I sign some mail" flag set?

Yes, exactly.
Might the SSP record that says "I sign some mail", which could have a
long TTL, be more effectively cached by DNS than the (negative) caching
when there's no record?
