There is absolutely no point in having any certificate authority go good 
for an individual's DKIM private key. The only point of having any 
certificate authority go good for any private key is when that key is 
used in a chain used to verify the signee's veracity, and where the 
signing authority is prepared to take public, economic and moral 
responsibility for that signee.

In DKIM's case, DNS goes good for his veracity - DNS is used as the 
basis for the originator's domain, which is where his public key is stored.

To trace the veracity of the signer's DNS site, use BIND 9's 'dig +trace 
example.com' where "example.com" is the actual domain, and do 'dig 
@resulting.dns.server selector._domainkey.example.com txt' to get his 
public key.

I'm sorry if you found yourself hung out ;)

Best,
