True, but even if you had that information you'll likely find that most of 
the vendors that had bugs in their implementations will fix them before 
long, especially when fully-functional open source solutions (such as this 
one) are out there so the answers are easily available.  For example, when 
I found a bug in someone else's reply, I walked over to where they were 
sitting, explained the test I ran and the flaw I found, and told them what 
to do to come into compliance.

At the same time, we've agreed (for now) not to announce which 
implementations did particularly well during the testing.

I think if some vendor has a long-lived bug beyond this week's event which 
causes validation problems with all the other implementations, word will 
get out pretty fast and they'll either fix it fast or suffer market 
consequences.  Due diligence of customers using some kind of live testing 
is easily achieved since several big vendors are now adding DKIM support 
(e.g. GMail) and there are public autoresponders run by several of the 
vendors.  You can trivially try before you buy.
