Many different entities participate in DMARC, and to each, there is a
different definition of what is needed to "implement" or participate in
DMARC.

Should the spec be clear about the different participants, and what it
means for each to participate partially and completely?

As a straw man to start conversation (assume this is all wrong):

The domain owner:
    - partially participating: valid record?
    - complete participation: no part of the domain hierarchy can be
spoofed by an unauthenticated sender?

The receiver/MTA:
    - partially participating: validates DMARC?
    - complete participation: validates DMARC and ARC, and sends aggregate
reports?

The intermediary (is this different than a receiver?):
    - partially: validates DMARC?
    - complete participation: validates DMARC and validates and seals ARC?
