I don't understand what you mean by "exclusive". I don't
think that anybody's under the illusion that this is some
sort of silver bullet if that's what you mean.
I agree 100% with the merging of IIM/DK, the concern from my standpoint it
show it will fit into the SMTP process and how SMTP vendors will address the
non-IIM/DK market place. If a system still needs to use other protocols,
then IIM/DK needs to be compliant with these other methods as well.
I don't think that DK or IIM interfered with the use of other
protocols -- and DKIM won't be any different in that respect.
I'm a fan of the cocktail approach to anti-spam/anti-phishing
for what it's worth.
