Jim,

    "permitting a signing domain to claim responsibility"

and

    "DKIM separates the question of the identity of the signer of the message 
from the purported author of the message. In particular, a signature includes 
the identity of the signer."

do specify a single output value, because "a signing domain" and "the identity 
of the signer" do not simply state a purpose; they state and constrain a 
function.

Please start by considering the use of "a" and its definition.

Care to cite the specific postings that you are suggesting provide some sort of 
contradictory statements?
