I'm with Dave.  It looks clear ro me that it's a list of examples.

I'd also take out the INFORMATIVE NOTE.  It's an opaque token, so a
signer can do anything with the mailbox part of that token that it
wants.  With a d=example.com, you could equally well use
[email protected] or [email protected].  They're different names, but
receivers can infer equally little from each of them.

Good lord, no.  My users don't see SDIDs or any other part of a DKIM
signature.  That goes in the same bit bucket with the advice to
display the signed and unsigned parts of the message in different
colors.
