Perhaps some providers are upset that some DKIM features allow 
original messages to be isolated from injected ads, for example. As it 
happens, some of these ads have caused security breaches due to 
various cross-site scripting and iFRAME related issues. It seems the 
features being declared "unused" also enable the isolation of injected 
ads. Often such injected content damages HTML page presentation when 
carried as an email message. Isolation of this information can ensure 
page annotations better preserve the intended presentation, and ensure 
the source of injected information is not confused with that of the 
sender.

DKIM should be renamed to SKIM - (Last) Sender Key Identified Mail.  It 
begins to make  sense then, since original authored domain mail have 
little control over it.
