Is DKIM checking sufficient in itself without SSP? How might DKIM-SSP

evaluation of received email whether signed (valid or not) or unsigned?
"known to be good" whitelisting can be done with DKIM-BASE alone.
SSP etc. is about the ABSENCE of valid signatures, and can help to
strengthen the "known to be good" whitelisting process.
You've said this several times, but I don't think that's the range
of all possibilities. Ag.com is a pretty good example of somebody
that I as a receiver don't know but if they're willing to say
"discard this if it's not signed", all other things being equal
why wouldn't I?
In any case, this is pretty squarely into the secret sauce of
receiver filter logic, so I'm not sure what the point is about
needing agreement; filters are certainly allowed to be more
cautious which is how I read you.
