I think about this differently:

Right now, you could implement STD 76 DKIM via a pipeline.  The only thing
it needs as input is a message.  An MTA could pipe a message as it comes
over the wire in the DATA block to a signer or verifier and it would work.

Requiring any part of the envelope, or knowledge of SMTP routing, is a
significant departure and means this simple "pipe the pure message"
interface can't work.  You need something more complex; significantly, you
need the envelope, and you need to clone the routing logic from the MTA to
the filter (or build it into the MTA directly).
