Scott,
Perhaps an easier way, instead of you having to manage a DNS policy
record, you offload that to your provider
Policy.DKIM.foo.bar.com is a alias to dkim.provider.com who states the
policy you request. When changing outbound email providers the new
provider aliases policy.foo.bar.com to new.dkim.provider.com.

Now if a small domain is managing their own dns I imagine it would not
be too demanding to use their own mta that can sign. Its not that
difficult.
The expertise to manage one makes he other rather trivial.
Thanks,

Except what I've seen that it much more common is that neither is actually in 
house, but the MTA is provided by the ISP or domain host and the DNS service 
is provided by the registrar, so while there are different entities doing the 
work, it is all outsourced.

Most domain owners are, from my experience, not technically savvy at all.  
Running either their own DNS or MTA is well out of their reach.
