There was a (hard won) consensus that a signature by
the owner/admin of a domain carries more weight than the signature of a
3rd party because the owner/admin of the domain controls the domain and
the 3rd party doesn't.

I don't think there is a consensus on what a 3rd party signature is.

ADSP has a definition that is, I think, pretty clear.

The problem is that that definition does not synchronize with many people's 
expectations of the term, and especially its usage in other circumstances.

We could, I suppose, write an ADSP erratum that redefines its usage. I've no 
idea whether that would be worth the effort.
