No, but we can make migrating from one cipher suite to another easier than it is
noe. Since you can only have one key per DNS key record, if you want to do both
RSA and ECC signing, you need two different signatures with two different
selectors that fetch two different key records.

In DKIM2 we should be able to have different cipher types with the same 
selector,
maybe with two TXT records or maybe with two keys in the same record, and you
should be able to put mutiple signatures in one DKIM header, with the verifier
checking whichever one(s) it knows about.

This is too many words but I think we can say "improved cipher agility" or
something like that.

R's,
John
