I'll repeat the example given previously.  The multiple listing of a
header in the h= parameter can not mitigate exploitation of DKIM PASS
results where a valuable domain is prefixed to that of large domain.
The large domain is unlikely concerned by possible presence of a
pre-pended header field, where their decision not to include multiple
listing for a message clearly not compliant with RFC5322.  In other
words, this leaves DKIM results open to exploitation.

From: accounts(_at_)big-bank(_dot_)com
From: someone(_at_)big-isp(_dot_)com
DKIM-Signature: h=from, d=big-isp.com, ...

Besides RFC 5322 compliance, how is this different from a traditional 
unsigned spoofed "From: accounts(_at_)big-bank(_dot_)com"?  Having just a 
signature doesn't mean much, and spelling how to match signature and 
 From field is ADSP's job, even in corner cases.
