The tree walk should address whether we do anything for domain-part names
that are resource record names rather than DNS domains.   Such names cannot
be given a _dmarc. subdomain, so they cannot be given an exact-match DMARC
policy.

Always doing a one-level walk from the bottom would ensure that they can
have a policy at the closest possible layer.
