> What is the "identity" being validated?

To quote one of my favorite people, "The identity is _whatever it is_". 
LOL.  Meaning that if altn.com signs the message the identity is altn.com. 
If yahoo.com signs, yahoo.com, etc.  Right?

> Some identities have more intrinsic "worth" over others.

And DKIM is designed as input to help determine which identity has what 
level of "worth" for ones particular tastes.

> If the identity being validated has little, to no,
> intrinsic "worth", then nothing is gained.

I think I'm missing the point.  How can you assess the "worth" or an 
identity absent a conclusive understanding of what/who the identity is?
