At a minimum, per Dave's comments here:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dmarc/XXE3r5FUozl6LVohv8rTkn5QG4E/ I
still believe there's some clear consistent language that needs to be
agreed upon to drive the appropriate specificity in the document.

I do hear the consensus that a) any depth beyond definitions most likely
belongs in a BCP, and b) any text in this document must be purely
informational.

If we can't make headway on this ticket in the next 48 hours, we'll table
it to progress other tickets and come back to it later.
