 "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?

Both should cache equally, shouldn't they? There are not levels of caching.
