I think that is actually a mis-use of DKIM. The message-id field covers 
that nicely.

But Message-ID:'s semantics are defined in a different layer.  As things 
are currently defined, the DKIM module at either end can only make use of 
what's in the signature itself.

My understanding of opaque allows identical opaque values to identify 
the same "something".

Then you're arguing for something stronger than what the draft proposes. 
The draft uses SHOULD, where to match your understanding, it would need a 
MUST.
