If replay does become a problem, then what is the response?  
Should large domains then issue user-keys to everyone? 

There is actually little difference in per-user keys and signing the
sender field.

Per user keys only make a difference if they are individually
controlled.

 
 The value of this acceptance is reduced when a signature 
must also be checked against a third-party clearing house to 
decide whether this represents a message being abusively replayed.

Are you arguing that the third party clearing house protocol is
absolutely essential for DKIM to have any value at all?
