This is probably a topic worthy of further discussion, for exactly the reason 
you cite.  It is an issue that keeps coming up and keeps causing significant 
debate.  I do not know what it will take to put the issue fully to rest, but it 
seems clear to me that it needs a focused discussion and effort.

Possibly not on the IETF list. I don't know what the right venue is.

But most certainly not as part of the DKIM Last Call.
