values
        can also be delivered this module; however this additional 
activity
        is outside the scope of the DKIM signature specification.


Replace "Other DKIM values" to "Other information".

My logic: what the assessor consumes beyond the SDID is outside the 
scope of the spec.


Is your concern that the presence of the DKIM qualifier could be taken 
to /exclude/ other values?

Yes.


The reason for saying DKIM, here, was to make sure the reader knows 
it's ok for other DKIM-Sig values to be delivered.  Without the DKIM 
reference, the sentence would seem to be so broad as to have truly 
nothing to do with DKIM.

My concern is this: what do identity assessors use today?  An IP 
address.  They might want that tidbid of information as well.  How, 
then, not to exclude it?
