Bad actors will find signatures surviving as a result of the 'l=n'
parameter, can then add their malware which might be a very innocent
looking URI pointing to some provider's AUP.  This message can then be
sent in bulk anywhere.  The innocent URI may still cause an exploit to
occur, and recipients might have thought they were trusting you.   
So who
is hurt?

Of course, the DKIM community will then need to explain to these  
end users
about this wonderful feature that allowed them to be completely  
confused.

My answer is that the ISP who fails to scan a message, is an idiot  
and deserves to go out of business.

Come on, Doug. You're saying that DKIM is this magic thing that  
obviates the need for virus scanning. Pull the other one.
