After seeing the discussion between Bron and Hannah and also talking with 
Hannah off-list, I re-read the point of the nd= Tag and think the essence and 
my intension were mixed up, in my Proposal back from end of my I wrote:

"If DKIM2 signature i=n asserts the signing domain of DKIM2 signature i=n+1, 
DKIM2 signature i=n+1 may omit the mf and rt fields and inherit their effective 
values from DKIM2 signature i=n."

But the current text in the draft-03 is kind of referencing the same signature 
instead of the previous. And the current wording would not solve anything for 
the ESPs involved in this.

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-dkim-dkim2-spec-03.txt is now available. It is a
work item of the Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   DomainKeys Identified Mail Signatures v2 (DKIM2)

Abstract:

   DomainKeys Identified Mail v2 (DKIM2) permits a person, role, or
   organization that owns a signing domain to document that it has
   handled an email message by associating their domain with the
   message.  This is achieved by providing a hash value that has been
   calculated on the current contents of the message and then applying a
   cryptographic signature that covers the hash values and other details
   about the transmission of the message.  Verification is performed by
   querying an entry within the signing domain's DNS space to retrieve
   an appropriate public key.  As a message is transferred from author
   to recipient systems that alter the body or header fields will
   provide details of their changes and calculate new hash values.
   Further signatures will be added to provide a validatable "chain".
   This permits validators to identify the nature of changes made by
   intermediaries and apply a reputation to the systems that made
   changed.  DKIM2 also allows recipients to detect when messages have
   been unexpectedly "replayed" and will ensure that Delivery Status
   Notifications are only sent to entities that were involved in the
   transmission of a message.
