I'd say it's 99.4% compatible with the existing usage. If you have

_dmarc.x.foo.com
_dmarc.foo.com

and you have a message from [email protected], the current scheme will
skip up to _dmarc.foo.com while a tree walk will find _dmarc.x.foo.com.

I doubt that will make any difference in practice.  If there really are any
situations like that, who knows what they think it does now.

R's,
