This really does need to be a FAQ.

Quite true.  But broken signatures are only a problem in a mutant version 
of DKIM unlike the one specified in RFC 4871, so it's not a problem.

Unless, of course, the list signs like this one does.  I don't see any 
reason to think it's less likely that lists sign than that list 
contributors sign.  Do you?  Concrete numbers would help here.

Anecdotes: all the Yahoogroups lists sign.  All of my lists sign.
