In the particular case you are stating, you have clearly identified
where the mail was signed, no other assertion can or should be made
about the signature. The dkim-asp=fail only indicates that you may not
want to bypass your other anti-spam mechaninations

Do you think there should be a statement indicating the ADSP lookup

My question is about the implementation of ssp-03.  The example which 
was tested is an odd case as we have a dkim=pass and 
dkim-asp=fail.  Section 3.1 of the draft says:

     If a message has a Valid Signature from an Author Domain, ASP
     provides no benefit relative to that domain since the message is
     already known to be compliant with any possible ASP for that
     domain.

I read that as meaning that as the ASP (ADSP) lookup is not done 
then.  I'm not saying that it should not be done. :-)
