Many thanks for citing DomainKeys.  I'd completely forgotten that it specified essentially the same as I am proposing:


      3.1 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4870#section-3.1>.
      Determining the Sending Address of an Email

...

    In the first instance, the most visible address is clearly theRFC  
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822>
    2822  <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822>  "From:" address [RFC2822  
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822>].  Therefore, a conforming email MUST
    contain a single "From:" header from which an email address with a
    domain name can be extracted.

    A conforming email MAY contain a singleRFC 2822  
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822>  "Sender:" header
    from which an email address with a domain name can be extracted.

    If the email has a valid "From:" and a valid "Sender:" header, then
    the signer MUST use the sending address in the "Sender:" header.

    If the email has a valid "From:" and no "Sender:" header, then the
    signer MUST use the first sending address in the "From:" header.



and it did not change with DKIM followed up:

DKIM eliminated use of the 822.sender field.
