I don't understand.  What is there in the DKIM signing protocol that 
requires the author adress to "follow suit"?

Not in the signing protocol, but in ADSP.  If an email with a From 
address of, say, statements(_at_)example(_dot_)com is signed with 
d=transaction.example.com then the signature cannot be an Author Signature.

I thought we had agreed to defer having the Overview document talk abut the 
Signing Practices material until it is standardized?
