The last sentence is particular in that Section 4.8 aims at determining the Organizational Domain for /any/ identifier, not just the From: domain.  We are assuming that an org domain can be determined for any domain, always.

At the end of Section 4.8, in order to fulfill that assumption, in the absence of DMARC records, "the initial target domain" is promoted to the rank of Organizational Domain of itself.  That way, a PSD /is/ an org domain, which formally counters the second sentence in 3.2.7.

If it's the original domain, yes.


We know that co.uk is not an Organizational Domain. Asking what is the Organizational Domain of co.uk is an ill-posed question.


To make the change clearer, I suggest to use different terms ...

No.  We can clarify the text but we already have too much jargon here.


How about restricting the term to DMARC?


NEW
3.2.7.  Organizational Domain

   The Organizational Domain is typically a domain that was registered
   with a domain name registrar and complies with DMARC.  More formally,
   it is any Public Suffix Domain plus one label which publishes a DMARC
   record (see Section 5.1).  The algorithm to determine The Organizational
   Domain, if any, is found in Section 4.8.


I think this change parallels the change from PSL to tree walk, and justifies 
it.
