I don't know what's being proposed here, but as a technical matter
it's not really the case that you can't individually insulate each
header from breakage without doing a separate signature for each
one. Rather, you could simply include digests for the header value in
the header specification, i.e.,

   DKIM-Signature: a=rsa-sha256; d=example.net; s=brisbane;
      c=simple; q=dns/txt; i=(_at_)eng(_dot_)example(_dot_)net;
      t=1117574938; x=1118006938;

h=from=<digest-value>:to=<digest-value>:subject-<digest-value>:date=<digest-value>;
      ...

This is actually less information than the z= tag, which says what the value was when signed.
