Either the signature is valid or it is not.  This does not depend

Can you be a bit more specific about what do you mean by
inconsistent  results?

I was referrering to the "Dark Secret" model that Mr. Falk and Mr.
Akins was
thinking about such as:

    Result = DKIM-BASE + REPUTATION

This has the potential to be different depending on which receiver
and its
non-standard reputation layer.

You seem to be deeply confused as to what "reputation" is. Every
receiving MTA, and possibly every recipient will have a different
view of a signers reputation.

Given that, expecting everyone to have exactly the same result
when they apply their reputation model to an email that's authenticated
from a given author is obviously nonsensical.

OK, then I'm confused because I think that you and Hector are saying 
essentially the same thing in your message and his that you replied to.
