They key point is that DKIM makes no statement about the basis by which a given 
signature is made or not made, AND different signers do indeed have very 
different criteria.

No doubt some do validate the From: field.  Others merely mean "the message 
went 
through my MTA".  Any assertion of From: field assessment is therefore far 
outside the scope of the DKIM base specification.
