I view introducing a new tag at this point as problematic.

Agreed.

Using i= or even going to using d= does not require any changes to
current DKIM signing implementations. Introducing a new tag means that
implementers are at the mercy of the timeframes that vendors choose to
change how they sign DKIM.

As I have said before, I can personally accept using d= because of how
we chose to implement DKIM signing for our domains. I lean towards i=
for ADSP because I believe it gives others benefits.

So then i= would be effectively meaningless to verifiers, EXCEPT when used 
in conjunction with ADSP, where it needs to match the author (From:) address?

Seems reasonable to me, assuming we're all agreed that i= is opaque to 
verifiers in all other cases.
