That looks reasonable.

This is a theological topic on which I have had long unproductive debates. RFC
6376 says that DKIM signs mail messages, but RFC 5322 says that something with
more than one Subject or From or whatever, is not allowed. So my opinion has
always been that DKIM software should refuse to sign or validate something that
isn't a mail message so all that oversigning is pointless. Needless to say,
other people have other opinions.

R's,
John
