    New:

      DKIM and that refers to the identity claiming responsibility  
for
      introduction of a message into the mail stream.  For DKIM
      processing, the name has only basic domain name semantics; any
      possible owner-specific semantics is outside the scope of DKIM.
   A single domain name -> A single, registered domain name

Registered with who?

If the SDID is, say, hatstand.beartrap.blighty.com?


Registered with the DNS, the global distributed hierarchical service.

 From the other uses of this language I'm seeing on the net, this isn't said 
explicitly.  Do you really feel that the meaning is not clear?
