I think I may not be understanding the problem. In the situation cited by Dave, 
[email protected] wants to have an ESP send mail on its behalf using the 
small business domain (i.e. FROM:@smallbusiness.com).

In that situation, why wouldn't small business get a DKIM key and unique 
selector and publish that in DNS, expanding the existing SPF record to include 
the relevant addresses of the ESP? In my experience, isolating that traffic 
using a subdomain (e.g. @esp.smallbusiness.com) for the from address would be 
preferred for operational and forensic purposes. The only role I can see Yahoo 
playing is taking responses to that traffic that originated from the ESP as 
indicated in the MX record for smallbusiness.com if that's what is desired.

Perhaps I am missing something basic, but I would think that the larger
barrier here is to make it easy for the domain owner to permit such
signing by third-parties.

To take an obvious example, [email protected] wants to use
small-ESP for sending mail to small-business' customers.

How does small-business get Yahoo to readily delegate signing authority
to small-ESP?
