Yes, except that DKIM doesn't necessarily sign _all_ headers, so
mentioning it specifically in this context requires a lot more
detail... detail that is inappropriate in a full standard given
DKIM's apparent maturity.   If a primary goal is to mention
(advertise?) DKIM, then it it probably better to use Dave's text
(despite my concerns and Ned's) and be done with it.

Please note "formally" and observe that, if you don't like what
Gmail is doing, you are not obligated to use them as an address
or submission server.  Note too that I did not suggest including
that text or anything like it in 4409bis.
