Marketing pressure on IETF protocols may be business as usual, but
DKIM managed to come out pretty cleanly neutral in this respect,
AFAICS[*].
IMHO, a scenario with a few big re-signers would pose more problems
than it can ever solve. I wish they... resign. However, managing
reputation without having recourse to a big brother of some sort is no
easy problem. Since even governments are being blamed for pursuing
personal interests rather than people's needs, solving that will be a
major achievement in democracy.
