In various places, the I-D talks about a /domain owner/, but it is not always so clear whose domain owner is meant, in case they differ.

For example, in *Domain Owner Actions*:

   snd:   When present, this tag signals that mail originated by the
      domain owner MAY have a RFC5322.Sender field, as well as a
      RFC5322.From field and that evaluation MAY be based on the domain
      name in the RFC5322.Sender field.

I understand that as a permission that a domain owner grants (to anyone?) to resend mail from its domain if it is correctly authenticated.

However, following instructions give the opposite impression. In *Determine Handling Policy*:

       Sender:   Extract the RFC5322.Sender domain from the message.

          Query the DNS for a DMARC policy record.

          Perform remaining, numbered steps, if one is found and it
          contains an "snd" tag.

Let's say I have From: real.bank, and Sender: phisher.example. The above text seems to imply the receiver is looking up _dmarc.phisher.example. Correct?

Next step 4 apparently entails that aggregate reports are sent to both From: and Sender:. That sounds solid, but not practical. A MLM needs to apply From: rewriting until it sees that all (or most) receivers look for Sender:. How?

A possible solution in my next message.
