What's the next step part?  If you've rejected the message because it
passes neither SPF or DKIM, it seems like you're done with that message
irrespective of alignment.

Shooting from the hip, I'm inclined to say this is out of scope for DMARC.
DMARC has as one of its core tenets the notion of From: field alignment,
because what the user sees comes from the From: field for most (almost
all?) MUAs.  If you take that out of the equation, it seems like we're
talking about stuff a layer below DMARC, not DMARC itself.

If you're going to say "either has to pass but I don't care about
alignment", then I can use my own domain in the MAIL FROM or sign with my
own domain and send mail with your domain in the From:, and it'll pass the
DMARC test.  Is that really an attractive alternative?
