Are you sure you got the right RFC here?

Yup:

 The From header field MUST be signed (that is, included in the "h="
 tag of the resulting DKIM-Signature header field).
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4871#section-5.4

(see also http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4686#section-4.1.15)

ah, I thought you were implying that the From domain had to match d=
