merely as an example, I'll cite the usage of DKIM for subscription and 
submission validation that has been mentioned a few times.  Formally, using DKIM 
that way is almost certainly a value-added semantic that goes beyond the 
semantics of the DKIM signing specification.  That's ok to do, but requires a 
normative spec to define the behavior and meaning.
