Not really, did you confuse this with the "PRA" in Sender-ID?

The "PRA" concept was not adopted or acknowledged in the later
RFCs 4409bis and 5321.  My somewhat irregular summary would be
that nobody was thrilled by the fine print of a "Resent-Sender".

IIRC at some point in time DKIM tackled "authors" (5322-From),
and whatever that is, it is certainly not always the "sender",
let alone the PRA.  But for ordinary humans not knowing these
infamous terminology difficulties "purported sender" might be
vague enough to cover the different concepts (?).

BTW, the draft does not mention Sender-ID at all.  I take this
as another indication that this "experiment" is now obsolete;
RFC 4407 (PRA) was cute, but RFC 4405 (SUBMITTER) was a "FUSSP".
