Although 5322.From is not mentioned here, how can DKIM provide any level
of defense against fraudulent use of origin addresses, if d= is the one
and only mandatory output of the verification process?

Why does the output of DKIM need to include something when the 
consumer of that output already has that information?

Its not really how data is obtained but what Data is needed for

     ADSP
     TRUST

as described as part of the RFC5585 design.

One can reasonably state that the true definition for Output is all 
INPUT that went into the signature and the result code:

    HLIST     (All the signed headers, h=)
    SDID      (d=)
    SELECTOR  (s=)
    AUID      (i=, if defined)
    HASH      (strength)
    RCODE     (Verifier result code)

Its understood the new 3.9 is burning in what is only value required 
and its for a presumingly a required trust assessor since "d=" value 
MUST be passed to it.

So why not add a reference to VBR?  You have a MUST there to pass to 
something, help promote VBR to fulfill the MUST.

All is that is being asked is cross the tees, dot the eyes for RFC5585 
with a MAY for ODID.  You don't even have to mention ADSP, just say 
its an optional part of the total DKIM Service Architecture.  Just 
like VBR is, just like A-R is.
