yup.  that's the design of the system.

and by the way, in terms of DNS management, a selector is a sub-domain name, so 
it's the same administrative effort as a subdomain for d=.


I'm not sure why using the selector would be a bad idea, 

that would imply a new reputation to be developed each time a key is replaced 
(and therefore a new selector is assigned.)  Key changes can and should happen 
regularly.  And different keys might be assigned to different people, for the 
same mail stream.
