No doubt some do validate the From: field.  Others merely mean "the

This is hard to grasp and conflicts with the DKIM base specification 
which makes the 5322.FROM a fundamentally required binding hashed 
entity in the DKIM signature manufacturing.

In additional, the 5322.From header is a historic persistent entity 
from handler to handler. i.e. it can not change for any single and/or 
collective set of signature.

Inherently, there are assessment assertions to be made within DKIM 
5322.From binding requirement - ergo the protocol inconsistency with 
between WG documents.
