Agree with Murray, there's nothing to fix here.

#10: Error in Appendix C. Creating a Public Key

 http://mipassoc.org/pipermail/ietf-dkim/2011q2/015812.html

 For appendix C, I believe the example for the public key DNS record is
 missing the complete subdomain. It has brisbane where it should be
 brisbane._domainkey

 Text change to consider:

    This public-key data (without the BEGIN and END tags) is placed in
    the DNS as a TXT record subdomain using the selector (i.e. brisbane)
    plus "._domainkey" like so:

    brisbane._domainkey IN  TXT  ("v=DKIM1; p=".....")

I don't think this clarifies anything in particular.  If the zone file is for 
a domain itself, this makes sense, but the text as-is is just fine if the 
zone file is for _domainkey.<domain>.  I've seen it done (and have done it) 
using both designs, so both are equally correct.
