Rather, DKIM's task is to allow an organization to say this it has some responsibility for the message; that is, come to them if there is a problem.

In the abstract of draft-ietf-dkim-overview-07

  "DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) allows an organization to take
   responsibility for a message, in a way that can be validated by a
   recipient."

I suggest having:

  "DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) allows an organization to take
responsibility for transmitting a message, in a way that can be validated by a recipient."

as the organization, an ISP for example, is not responsible for the "content" of the message. The signer is merely offering a means for the original or intermediate transmission to be validated.

+1.  Thank you SM.
