I recently surveyed the domains from which Cisco has received valid DKIM 
signatures:

dkim=unknown: 205 domains
dkim=all: 135 domains
dkim=discardable:  63 domains

There are perhaps some other domains that are publishing 'discardable' 
because they don't send any mail, but we wouldn't have seen them in this 
study.

There's only a weak motivation (involving better DNS caching) for 
publishing dkim=unknown, so it's hard to gauge ADSP deployment by that 
number.  In order to publish all or discardable, the domain's practices 
need to align with that, so unless there's a way to tell that a domain 
is signing all their mail and not publishing ADSP then it's challenging 
to gauge ADSP deployment for either of these categories.

Addressing a question from elsewhere else in this massive thread, my 
home MTA runs the stock version of spamassassin that comes with Fedora 
12.  I haven't tweaked anything.  Assuming my reading of the 
configuration files is correct, spamassassin is querying ADSP for 
incoming mail, and applying a positive bump to the "spamminess" score 
when a message comes from a domain with dkim=all, and a bigger bump for 
dkim=discardable.  This could account for many of the adsp lookups that 
people are seeing.
