Some comments:

,----
| Is the Transmitted: header useful enough to include in this spec?
| Should it be dropped, or perhaps moved to another document?
`----

It does seem useful; I'm indifferent to in this document or in a
document of its own.

,----
| Is the description of DNSSEC validation over-done?  Can it be trimmed
| down so it relies more on the core DNSSEC specs?
`----

Given the desire to ensure that partial tlsa provisioning doesn't block
mail delivery, it seems squarely to have hit the as simple as needed but
no simpler nail.

,----
| o  If there is no TLSA record or its DNSSEC validation state is
|    insecure or indeterminate, this protocol has not been fully
|    deployed.  The client SHOULD deliver to this server insecurely
|    (which might be over unauthenticated TLS).
`----

In that case the target mta might offer a cert which the client mta can
authenticate by some means other than dane (eg a pool in CApath or the
like).  So 'insecurely' is not the right adverb.

I haven't come up with an alternative wording, though.

,----
| A <Transmitted-line> SHALL include:
|
| o  A <To-domain> clause describing the SMTP server.  The <Domain>
|    part of a <To-domain> SHALL be the same as the SMTP server host
|    name.
`----

When would/could/should the To-domain not in its entirety match the string
used for the A/AAAA and TLSA lookups?

,----
| 6.1.  "with" protocol types
`----

It seems odd that with is used for some auth but not all.  Perhaps there
should be a with keyword for tlsa, too?
