Dear Murray,

It is hard to understand your point.

SPF -all policy requests have been relaxed in most cases since they generally 
generate complaints for legitimate messaging.  Will this be okay for DMARC as 
well?

Will accepting DMARC policy requests be considered just hints?

DMARC is not in a good position to have third-party services override poor 
policy requests.  There are many smaller domains making requests clearly at 
odds with their own users.  Liabilities represent one of the largest expenses 
related to third-party assessments which leaves little cover for overriding 
anything more than the most egregious errors, which clearly includes Yahoo and 
AOL at this time.  The fact that those making problematic request have not 
properly responded suggests perhaps they consider this a way to change SMTP 
into of peer-to-peer protocol.
 
Regards,
Douglas Otis
