Not including this additional requirement removes recipient assurances a
sender may have expected to be offered by DKIM.

Yes; we discussed this to death and consensus was against saying that.
 Your objection to the consensus is noted; nevertheless, we do have

Not really. There was so much misunderstanding of the problem, and so many  
texts proposed, that it is entirely unclear as to exactly what the final  
consensus was. For sure, the wording that finally arrived is about as  
unhelpful to the implementor as it could be.
