I am in complete agreement with this. I think all references to DKIM needs to
be dropped from this draft. DKIM is not an end-to-end signature or encryption

away from what should be the focus here: Protecting the contents of messages in
transit.

There are cases where DKIM verification will fail. These cases are significant enough to avoid DKIM as an end-to-end mechanism. Note that the are use-cases where DKIM may be appropriate but that is not really relevant to the problem the draft tries to solve.
