No.

This is a software problem, 

You mean the MLM who is ignorant of DKIM meta data for the past "40 
years?"

not something that needs to be solved by creating a protocol extension.

Isn't that what you are doing in this MLM I-D, creating a DKIM 
"protocol extension" for MLMs?

IMV, this MLM I-D is 100% about a MLM and VERIFIER mail integration 
protocol inconsistency, i.e. software problems, in dictating whats MLM 
and Verifier Software need to be considered and change to retrofit 
DKIM and ADSP into a MLM and MLM related issues with verifiers.

IMV, the issue equally falls in the same MLM chaotic environment in 
how there long legacy behavior and different ways it can break 
transparent meta data we call DKIM.  The extra <CRLF> preexisted DKIM 
- we can tell these software to not do this or that for the sake of 
DKIM, but is that realistic?  I don't think so - the burden is on DKIM.
