Sorry, but even the Abstract appears to be littered with problematic
language.
I always try to provide alternate language, when I can, but in spite of
having offered suggestions for this document in the past, I can't for
this set.
Abstract
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and
Conformance) is a scalable mechanism by which a mail-originating
organization can express domain-level policies and preferences for
message validation, disposition, and reporting, that a mail-receiving
organization can use to improve mail handling. The design of DMARC
presumes that domain names represent either nodes in the tree below
which registrations occur, or nodes where registrations have
DMARC does not have 'registrations'.
Also the occur/occured contrast has no obvious meaning to me. Really, I
have no idea what's intended by it.
occurred; it does not permit a domain name to have both of these
"both" of what? registration?
properties simultaneously. Since its deployment in 2015, use of
DMARC has shown a clear need for the ability to express policy for
these domains as well.
Which domains?
Domains at which registrations can occur are referred to as Public
Suffix Domains (PSDs). This document describes an extension to DMARC
to enable DMARC functionality for PSDs.
This is the definition of public suffix provided by the PSL folk:
"A public suffix is a set of DNS names or wildcards concatenated with
dots. It represents the part of a domain name which is *not* under the
control of the individual registrant."
This document also seeks to address implementations that consider a
domain on a public Suffix list to be ineligible for DMARC
enforcement.
seeks?
implementations don't 'consider' anything.
is 'ineligibility' really the essential issue?
