Not so. DKIM specifically requires that the From header be included in the  
signature. Hence end users (and that included verifiers) are entitled to  
assume that if there is a valid signature, then "the" From header that  
they see before them was signed. So there does already exist a binding  
quite independently of ADSP or reputation suystems, or any other "addons".
