Doug I stopped reading at section 3.2. I think this is too ambitious.
But I want some of this functionality. What I'd like is a draft like
this that doesn't require any dkim changes. I also don't want it tied
to ADSP. I see an alternate definition of 3rd party. It seems the
definition in this draft doesn't call this a 3rd party:

DKIM-Signature: ... d=foo.example.net
From: [email protected]

I think some folks say it is.

A simplification of this draft would be:

1) if the signature validates
    a) create a label composed of <d=>._tpa.<author-domain>

So for the above, one would do a DNS lookup at:

foo.example.net._tpa.example.net

if there is a record, there is a stated relationship between
<author-domain> (example.net) and <d=> (foo.example.net).

I'll read the rest of your draft, but I'm wondering if my
simplification would be enough for most folks. IMHO any service that
builds off of DKIM should do something like this. It would reduce the
need for multiple signatures.
