There are several ways to offer the DKIM key size expectation for
Receiver local policies to deal with:

1) Report the bit size in Authentication-Results (Auth-Res) header.

    Authentication-Results: mail.example.com
        dkim=pass ..... bitsize=num-bits;

2) Add a DMARC tag extension "ess=" Expected Signature Strength with
values

     ess=std76,    default, tell receivers to follow DKIM STD76.(RFC6376)
     ess=num-bits, num-bits key size is or higher is acceptable

3) Or use "ess=" as a DKIM tag extension:

   DKIM-Signature: d=signer.domain; ess=1024; ......

Any method allows for local policy filtering engines to deal with it.

The last one can be spoofed so nix #3.
