In terms of modeling, this header field is a form of inter-process
communication, from an authentication validator to a reputation assessor.

No, I didn't mean human user, I meant user in the sense of, for example,
"a Firefox plug-in that makes use of the A-R header field."


To repeat what I said in the previous note:  It's an inter-process 
communication 
mechanism.  The DKIM validation module is merely reporting its results.

The concern you have accrues to the assessment module, not the mechanism for 
reporting.
