How about this:

[SPF] can authenticate both the domain found in an [SMTP] HELO/EHLO
command (the HELO identity) and the domain found in an [SMTP] MAIL
command (the MAIL FROM identity).  DMARC uses the result of SPF
authentication of the MAIL FROM identity.  Section 2.4 of [SPF] describes
SPF MAIL FROM processing for cases in which the MAIL command has a
null path.

+1 also :-)

Slow down. :)

I don't get that second sentence:

"DMARC uses the result of SPF authentication of the MAIL FROM identity."

Does that mean it gets return-path from the "Authentication-Result:" header? or the "Return-Path:", "Sender:" headers? or is about what SPF should report?

I believe, it sounds to me, that it should be:

  [SPF] can authenticate both the domain found in an [SMTP] HELO/EHLO
  command (the HELO identity) and the domain found in an [SMTP] MAIL
  command (the MAIL FROM identity). Section 2.4 of [SPF] describes
  SPF MAIL FROM processing for cases in which the return path is null,
  for example MAIL FROM:<>.

For DMARC domain alignment policies, DMARC uses the return path (MAIL FROM) of the transaction for alignment with the author domain, see Section 3.1.

Its really two separate ideas imo.
