I certainly hope so.  The IETF has an excellent track record at taking
working technology, tidiying up the messy bits, [...]

Is the newly created DKIM really "working technology"?  

Depends how different it is from DK.  DK certainly works.

Or, is DKIM simply created by a committee of Y! and Cisco people
(along with unknown others) in a closed environment where people will
not be able to understand the rational or known problems with a
design?

I know the people working on DK and it's safe to say they understand
the issues at least as well as people here do.

It is my understanding that the DK patent license is not compatible
with the GPL ...  I confess that I have not looked into the details
of the DK license as closely as the MARID protocol license.

Is there some reason you prefer to speculate than to find out?  The
license is hardly a secret. http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys
