Of course this works only over direct, and secured, connections.
Over hops any man-in-the-middle could sent the message to any
number of further recipients on the destination domain.
To overcome that per-recipient and not per-recipient-domain DKIM
sub-signatures would need to be included, as was the original idea
(i must admit i have not yet read the updated document of july
29th).

Non-direct connections reveal any recipient anyway -- how about
this?

I mean, of course DKIM could go further and encrypt those
sub-signatures per-recipient-domain, so that only the destination
domain could decrypt _that_ header, and then all recipients could
be included with their local names, and even man-in-the-middle
could only resent the very same message to the very same receivers
over and over again.
