RFC-3986 is titled “Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax.”
I suspect a reference to RFC-7208 was intended here.

RFC-5322 is the standard for the Internet Message Format, which doesn't
have a HELO/EHLO. I suspect a reference to RFC-5321 was intended here.

So, maybe this section should read:

“[RFC7208], which can authenticate both the domain found in an
 [RFC5321] HELO/EHLO command (the RFC5321.HELO identity) and the
 domain found in an SMTP MAIL command (the RFC5321.MailFrom
 identity). DMARC uses the result of SPF authentication of the MAIL
 FROM identity. Section 2.4 of [RFC7208] defines the MAIL FROM
 identity for cases in which the MAIL command has a null path.”
