Not only are you correct, but strictly speaking, RFC 4871 documents DomainKeys, 
version *4*.

The current version of DomainKeys is version 2.  The private industry effort 
that created DKIM was, therefore, version 3.

So the IETF published version represents the 4th round of specification and 
deployment.
