Seems to me that works fine as is. If a stock broker wants to set up its
mail system to put an i= into DKIM that reliably identifies the person who
sent the mail, they can do that.
But unless I have external knowledge that they do that, and trust them to
do it right, I can't depend on it,
Why do you raise this concern for "i=" and not for "d="? Simply looking
at "d=" we can't differentiate between a Good Guy and a Bad Guy, until
we have built some history/reputation for that particular "d=" domain.
Why wouldn't the same logic hold for "i="?
Because d= specifies the name of the public key.
