DKIM's main purpose is assessment by reputation filtering engines.  

Is this locked in stone as the only utilization of DKIM now and into 
the future?  Is POLICY (an "official" WG work product where reputation 
concepts are not), no longer included as part of a possible purpose 
for DKIM?

Lets suppose tomorrow I add DKIM signature support, and I use your 
statement above to document the purpose for DKIM,  what do I tell my 
customer base regarding the "batteries required" (reputation filtering 
engines) they need to get? Who, what and where are these engines? 
Where do you buy or get these batteries?

IMO, it is these statements that continues to raise confusion and 
raise the barrier of industry wide adoption that includes the general 
population of MTA developers and operators from tiny to small to even 
large.

It would be really sweet if we can finally get some consistency Dave, 
for all parties across the board.
