re: numbering (to keep this all in one email)

We absolutely need ordering. Maybe we don't need an index number to have guarantees about that ordering surviving transit, which is potentially reasonable since we have the same requirement for any signed repeated headers. Upgrading all of those ordering SHOULDs into MUSTs may be a good idea.
Absent any evidence to the contrary, why should I or anybody else believe that this is an actual problem in the field? I don't remember why it's a SHOULD vs a MUST re: trace headers, but an update to DKIM could change it to a MUST if need be.

Is the index number hsrmful is some way that I'm not seeing?

The point is why do something that isn't needed? But there is harm in that i= is already a valid DKIM tag and since it's not been decided whether it's a new protocol or an update it shouldn't make breaking changes gratuitously.
