Agreed. DKIM does not offer a comprehensive method to qualify the source 
of a message.  Extensions, such as the TPA-Label scheme, could extend 
signing policy to include other authentication and authorization methods 
and retain delivery integrity.  ADSP using just DKIM is likely to cause 
a significant loss of legitimate email, especially when DISCARDABLE is 
asserted.
