No, it's not backward compatible.  My signatures all have a fully 
compliant i= value which is not an e-mail address.  (Take a look.)

Fortunately, the DKIM spec is upward compatible, and we can invent new 
fields.

So, if people think that a "real ID" assertion would be of value, write up 
a draft and it can be an experimental add-on to DKIM.  I say experimental 
since we have, as far as I can tell, no actual experience with such a 
thing.
