Jim,

Are you suggesting corp.paypal.com should use ADSP dkim=all?  This is 
still likely to disrupt some mailing-list messages that corp.paypal.com 
might desire to share, and allow spoofed messages to gain acceptance 
using corp.paypal.com.

How will recipients know Jon Doe <[email protected]> is less 
trustworthy than Jon Doe <[email protected]>?  Bad actors may only need 
recipients to click on an attachment displayed as "paypal-policy.docx" 
referencing paypal-policy.docx.exe, or a link offering details on 
obtaining Referral Benefit pay-outs.

Ideally, only one domain should be used to exchange email, but currently 
ADSP is unable to safely permit this practice.  Unfortunately, 
subdomains are nearly as confusing as cousin domains.  However a 
recipient is likely to be more wary of cousin domains and to recognize 
paypal.com and trust its subdomains more than they should in this case.
