Doug.

Section 5.4 of DKIM-base says:

   5.4  Determine the header fields to Sign

    The From header field MUST be signed (that is, included in the
    h= tag of the resulting DKIM-Signature header field).

How does this not handle your objection? What you are saying ("When DKIM fails to offer a means to assure the validity of the 2822.From address...") is categorically false. DKIM *REQUIRES* you to assure the validity of the 2822.From address.
