Steve is quite right.  Since the DKIM key records are at different
names from the related MX or A record, the existence of one doesn't
require or imply the existence of the other.

I don't want to hold up this errata/update/whatever any more than it
already is, so I'd suggest taking out any wording about the DNS status
of the SDID.

One of us should send in a separate technical erratum saying that DKIM
key records SHOULD be published only for SDID domains that have
corresponding MX or A records and can receive mail.

please don't, or at least, please explain.


The following shouldn't be discouraged:

From: foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com
DKIM-Signature: ... d=43343.rep.bar.com ...

where 43343.rep.bar.com doesn't have any MX or A record.
