In this case, if this is enforced with a MUST, for a system that is

compliant it is far more feasible to add a rule to a DKIM signing 
component:

   If mail is 8bit then SKIP signing.

But why skip? Usually the message won't be downgraded. And even if they 
are, usually a broken signature will cause no harm.

Thats the problem - define "usually" and also define "no harm."
