Dkim needs to state clearly what it IS intended for.  If this does not include 
end-user use then dkim does not have an obligation to "prove" it.  That would 
be trying to olepce the negative.

And if dkim is NOT intended for user-level?

You will need to provide more information on how DKIM is not, and why.

The way DKIM is defined, I'm not sure you can effectively prevent
people using DKIM at a user level (and the draft even indications such
usage as possible).  Therefore, to to state that DKIM is not intended
for user-level may be meaningless, and to ignore the implications of
user-level-based usage would be a mistake.
