The authoritative source of information about ADSP is RFC5617. If
RFC5617 is not clear about what 'discardable' means, it should be
addressed in an update to that RFC. A Wikipedia article that explains
ADSP is nice, but it can not replace (part of) RFC5617.

May I suggest to move this discussion to the ietf-dkim mailing list, as
the original question is not OpenDKIM specific and this mailing list is
intended to be used to discuss OpenDKIM implementation questions, issues
etc.
