How so?

 From my standpoint, ASP/SSP-02 both provided unprotected considerations 
in DKIM-BASE.

ASP::DISCARDABLE completely changes the semantics of DKIM-BASE failures 
state change to "no signature" to one where a failed signature exist.

Likewise ASP::ALL offers no protection against fraudulent 3rd party 
signers.  This is not what I call adding a SECURITY WRAPPER around the 
DKIM-BASE signing expectations whether forged 1st or 3rd party.
