I just realized I neglected to respond to this part of your mail. Right, but my mail server, my rules. I don't need the IETF's permission to make such an association if I find it's a useful token for my analysis. The only thing that requires any kind of formal connection is the connection to policy. If you argue yourself out of the connection to policy, you've argued yourself out of DMARC entirely. In order to generate the data for my classifier, it's entirely unnecessary to even look up the DMARC record (it might be useful as additional data for a more nuanced analysis, but it not needed to determine the relationship between rfc5322.From and DKIM d= or rfc5321.MailFrom).
