I wouldn't take the lack of answers terribly personally.  There certainly
are a lot of threads to track right now.

As for your specific ideas:

I seem to remember there was in fact discussion of your SRS advocacy.

One way of viewing DMARC is that it seeks to allow a domain owner to have
better control of how its domain is used, so I don't know what this would
accomplish.  If alignment is optional, what does DMARC do policy-wise that
DKIM and SPF don't already do?

They have complementary failure modes.  Data shows that the vast majority
of mail passes at least one if not both.  OR is the best logic in that
scenario, is it not?

2. make this policy processing logic selectable.

That might be useful, but isn't that more restrictive, and not less
restrictive?  How would it help your use case, for example?
