I get the impression that you haven't read the very, very, very
extensive discussion on the DKIM list about how DKIM and/or ADSP do or
do not "protect" the address on the From: line, and what if anything
to do about it.  Please do so.  The archives are here:

http://mipassoc.org/pipermail/ietf-dkim/

It would also be worth taking a look at the archives of the earlier
MARID WG which also considered similar issues.  Its archives are here:
