Why does it have to be inferred sometimes?  Have you found "t=" values to
be occasionally inaccurate?

The DKIM standard advises against using "x=" to combat replay attacks.  We
could always update that advice, but we might also want to review why it
was put there in the first place.  I remember the reason being a good one.

I think there's also been discussion around the reliability of "x=" across
implementations.  Since it's not mandatory to support, it doesn't seem to
be very common to produce without the expectation of consumers.
