What that suggests then is that as a recipient implementing local decisions you may want to know both the accountable forwarder and the accountable origin. Is that a reasonable inference? First Question: Must DKIM provide both of these pieces of information to you? Second question: Do you really truly care about the forwarder or is that more an artifact of today's world where it's hard to look beyond the forwarder?
