RE: [ietf-dkim] Base issue: multiple linked signatures

Its not enforceable as it is at the option of the receiver and so 
cannot be a MUST NOT, it could be a SHOULD NOT.

Seems to me this is a semantic niggle.  People can implement 
whatever variant form of whatever spec they want to, but if 
they want to interoperate and implement the signature 
validation that DKIM specifies, that have to use the current 
values of the headers.

Semantics is from the Greek, it means 'meaning'.

There is no part of writing a standard  that is not a semantic exercise.
