No point at all, that is what we are supposed to be doing here, defining policy then hashing out what that policy clearly means with a consensus

discussing what the policy means like I had to do with WICIS. Lets set
an agreeable policy, discuss what it means (like the statement below)
and the write the document with the clear expectation of what it means.

1. I sign all

The above means "I sign everything so please discard unsigned mail
apparently from me"

Where "unsigned" means any mail other than DKIM signed
mail which validates correctly when received by the recipient.

(It seems a minor point, but several people here have asserted that
mail for which the signature doesn't validate is not "unsigned").

There, one policy statement done.

Well, a use case to go with it would be nice.
