What's wrong with using the Message Reception Time? as proposed in:

http://mipassoc.org/pipermail/ietf-dkim/2006q2/003134.html

This addresses all time-shifted DKIM expiration scenarios.

Lets remember modern mail operations needs to work and be designed around
two fundamental platforms:

    o Dynamic, Online, Interactive,

    o Offline, Store and Forward, a Time-Shifted emulation
      of Interactive Operations.

The protocol for this expiration concept has to apply to both equally,
otherwise you can run into fuzzy inconsistent operations and sure enough,
new legal issues as well, as you duly pointed out.
