That's not part of what DKIM tells an assessor, nor is the list of signed

For example, if a message contains two Subject: fields, the assessor doesn't 
know which was signed; could be neither.  It still gets an SDID out of the 
verification and nothing more (possibly not even that if the signature 
failed).


It simply is not productive to pursue terse, abstract claims of threats, absent 
detailed technical description, detailed explanation of how it is relevant to 
DKIM, and some indication of concern for that threat among a range of people

The main effect of responding to isolated, terse concerns is to create a record 
that can be read as giving credence to those threats.
