It does not mean low value mail and I don't think you will find a
sending mplementing dkim=discardable that would agree with you. In the
case of the domain actually sending mail, what is being said is that the
risk of phishing/badness/abuse is great enough that when in doubt,
discard it if it fails to validate or does not have a signature. This is
significantly different than "it means low value mail".
