Depends. If say someone ended up sampling the mail header
field values seen over a lot of messages then exceptions
to key continuity for mail service providers would perhaps
be enough to flag potential MITM attacks on the TLS
sessions, or "odd" MTAs popping up from nowhere, which are
at least some of the goals here.

So DKIM-level security could actually be quite useful in
this case I reckon.
