Yes, and I would prefer the multi-stage approach, because I consider draft-ietf-dkim-rfc4871-errata-02 to be excessive to the problem at hand, lacking consideration for the appropriate tradeoffs on readability.

+1 (since we're counting).

+1 agreed.

The WG should also discuss the merits of making a statement warning against a domain overlapping their valid namespace with fictitious or token i= values. While such overlap should be discouraged to avoid confusing recipients as to what the i= values means, this has received little discussion other than to say the i= value represents a totally separate namespace. Since this statement is _not_ always true, some effort should be made by the domain to ensure that there is no apparent overlap within the same message. Several techniques can ensure the isolation of different i= value uses.
