"Half of DBOUND" is exact.  Apparently, DBOUND tried to simultaneously solve
both the concept of Organizational domain (which is also related to reputation,
responsibility, and possibly liability) and the concept of establishing a
default, easily overridden policy.  We only need the latter half.

By its very nature, PSL defines Organizational domains —the first half.  If you
can exchange session cookies, you share liability.

We don't need to define a topology in the DNS.  We only need a default policy,
established by the parent domain.  Top level TXT RRs can allow some TLD's own
semantics.

DMARC policies also feature reporting addresses.  They are quite different
from, say, the point of contact (POC) linked to IP address space allocations,
but let's note the concept of assigning some responsibility to the entity
owning the first allocation.  So, again, what's wrong with, for example:

_dmarc.com. IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected]";

eh?

Best
