Let's set aside your preference for a small fraction of all mail rather than my preference to examine a larger percentage of a smaller subset with regard to DKIM signing. Flip the question around regardless of which view one chooses to take. The question is really: If a domain chooses to sign DKIM with respect to a From field email address that purports to be from that domain and that domain has the ability to make an assertion (of any sort) through SSP with regard to it's practices: Is the potential benefit afforded a receiver by checking that SSP assertion AND taking whatever (unspecified) action worth the effort of doing so? If receivers are likely to have little or no benefit/interest in checking SSP then the rest of the discussion is moot. In other words, is the juice worth the squeeze?
