Organizational Domains are defined as PSD+1, and can have DMARC records

I think this would be a good time to review the way relaxed alignment works in sections 4.5 through 4.8 of the draft.


I think this statement in 4.8 is inexact:

OLD:
   If this process does not determine the Organizational Domain, then
   the initial target domain is the Organizational Domain.

NEW:
   If this process does not determine the Organizational Domain, then
   the initial target domain is the Organizational Domain, unless it
   is a PSD.


Indeed, since we said an org domain is PSD+1, a PSD cannot be an org domain. OTOH, you can happen to start the process with a PSD.

Perhaps we should take a position of treating a domain as if it were an org domain albeit it isn't, for uk.com and similar?


Perhaps 0.01% of the time, a tree walk will find a record with a psd tag. The other 99.99% of the time it's the shortest name with a DMARC record, and PSDs are completely irrelevant.


Yes, you seem to be repeating this argument and I'm unable to grasp its implication. The Internet itself wouldn't exist if there were no PSDs, however rare. Programmers have to know what to do when they find one.
