  Therefore, within the scope of the DKIM base specification, the entire i= 
string is *always* unresolvable, in that it has no syntax and no semantics, 
other than string1(_at_)string2, and string2 equals d= or is a subdomain of 
d=.

Keep in mind, I view this statement with inconsistent points and idea 
- makes no engineering logical sense.

You have reconfirmed there is a protocol consistency rule check here - 
the string2 syntax, format and value requirements.  In that vain, it 
is not opaque and it is interpretable and subject to a possible 100% 
legitimate verifier protocol consistency checking.
