A) No mail has an isp.com From: address, but mail with other From: addresses may have an isp.com signature.

Consider what I believe Y! does in their MUA: if it's got a valid signature from isp.com with a From: foo(_at_)customer(_dot_)com, it doesn't get a nice little message saying that Y! believe it came from customer.com. Thus the outsourced mail will not be treated on a par with mail signed on behalf of the domain.

It makes sense that customer.com would publish an SSP record saying "my mail is all signed by isp.com".

But I still don't see what benefit it is for isp.com to say "we sign some other people's mail." If isp.com signs other people's mail, we'll know because we'll see the signatures.
