I am glad you raised this. It encourages the basic question about the relationship between SSP and DKIM?

For example, are there reasonable SSP features that do not involve DKIM at all. (Answer, "I send no mail" is a prime example.)

Note that "I send no mail" has nothing to do with signing, in which case, the middle S of SSP is overly constraining.

Right, but by the same token I don't think we want to be in ocean boiling
mode either. But let's talk about the concrete: is there something other than
"I don't send mail" in the non-dkim category that should be on our agenda?
