I'm pretty sure I have the "operator" terminology messed up, then.

Maybe it's me that's messed up. Using Dave's operator terminology, I thought that meant the entity running the MTA (e.g. the ISP or domain host).
I think you're using it the same way as Dave, but your message doesn't make sense to me because there may not even be an "operator domain" in the path (ie, author-receiver directly). I think I also read that you said that you'd expect operator signatures to be the prevelent ones, but I'd expect just the opposite: author domain signatures will be far
and away the most prevalent. This certainly is the case right now.
