[ietf-dkim] A few SSP axioms

I understand that it is not a reputation service, however, I am now at the
mercy of my ISP's reputation and not mine. In fact, they are full of bots
and spammers.

 Consider:
 I never sign email coming from Holiday Inn where 50% on my workforce lives
out of suitcases but Holiday Inn does sign (inconsequential)
 I always sign email coming from the home office in Walla Walla.
 Therefore my rule says that I sometimes sign. But what good did that do me?
My ISP is the issue, not Holiday Inn. So, if I was able to say I sometimes
sign my email and I always sign from the home office, it would be too much
of a DNS load to describe where I might sometimes sign. It would be better
if I could specifically just distrust my ISP.

Regards,
Damon Sauer
