Frequently, an inbound message has one or more valid DKIM signatures,

pointing to itself.  Hence, the net effect is equivalent to dropping
the alignment requirement.

It's not.  Remember that the From: field is typically also the Sender: field.

Again:  The actual semantics of DMARC have to do with the organization's domain, not the author's mailbox.  So, really, DMARC concerns an operational identifier, not a content creator.

The suggestion, therefore, is to retain alignment, but move it to a field that has to do with operations, not content.


Sender: has a display name and an address, just like From:.  Don't we
risk to double phishing opportunities?

If Sender: and From: domains disagree, are both going to get reports?
Why would there be a DMARC report on From:?
Reports are supposed to be consumed by the originator.

You didn't actually answer my question.

Let's try a more complete question:

     If DMARC reports refer to the Sender: aligned domain, and reports refer to that, why is a report on the From: field also required?
