We can't add anything to DKIM without delaying significantly the goal of 
advancing it to Draft Standard.  On the other hand, you can register a new tag 
in your own RFC without interfering with that progress.

You can do that if you think it'll work.  The header field registry also is 
extensible.

I think you need some data to show this works and will get uptake.  But if you 
have that, then getting something like that standardized is easy.  Just don't 
underestimate the size of that "if".
