Do we need to say anything about the possibility that there are multiple
signatures?

How about "For each signature not ignored by the verifier" or such.

Unfortunately, moving the text is this direction for this item requires going 
back over the rest of the protocol spec to make sure it deals with multiple 
signatures consistently.

I think it simpler and safer to have the core spec deal with a single signature 
-- a single DKIM-Signature field -- and then add the section on multiple sigs 
to 
say that the basic mechanism can interate over multiple sig fields.

"the verifier" therefore would refer only to the handler of a single sig.
