Hm.  I see that instead of DKIM-like signatures, now it's DNSSEC-like signatures.

But I still have the same question: what advantage does all of this
crypto stuff provide compared to a much simpler design where the two
domains just have records that point at each other, like a cut down
version of Andrew's SOPA?

One difference is that you can't tell by looking at the
primary/relating domain what its secondary/related domains are.  I can't tell if that's
a bug or a feature.
