I understand, but the question is whether anyone actually does that.  It is my
impression that our argument is largely hypothetical because it is rare to have
stacked DMARC records like that.

Laura says she's seen sibling or maybe great aunt alignment.  I really wish we
could get some stats about what kinds of relaxed alignment people actually use,
because I would prefer to avoid evil sibling alignment if we can do that without
breaking significant existing use.
