[ietf-dkim] DKIM signature can mean it's safe to generate bounce?

Folks,

I'm not sure whether this fits into SSP or not, since it does not seem to 
require that a record be published. However...

It seems to me that if a message has a DKIM signature and the signing domain 
matches the domain in the rfc2821.MailFrom command, then it is safe to 
generate a bounce message to that address.

By 'safe' I mean that one can be confident that the mail will not go to an 
unwitting victim of a spoofed address.

Am I missing something?
