There's a discussion of local policy in Section 6.3 of RFC 
4871.  I'll emphasize the first sentence of that section:

   "It is beyond the scope of this specification to describe what actions
    a verifier system should make."

In terms of implementation, we might be doing some rejects at the 
SMTP level.  I refrained from suggesting having that as part of the 
default knobs because of the odd cases.

I am wary about going beyond the RFC 5322 level for some of the 
reasons you stated above and because DKIM does not operate at that level.

Maybe, but this is the kind of thing where some people will take the 
simplistic answer and ignore the caveats.
