Due to the interoperability affects both on a domain's own message stream and 
side effects on other domain's email flow, domains with [unrestrictive] usage 
policies MUST NOT publish DMARC records with p=reject as the policy.  See 
Appendix [X] for information on how to ameliorate some of these issues and the 
possible side effects.

I bracketed [unrestrictive] because I'm reasonably confident that's not the 
right word, but I didn't think of another, better one.  I bracketed the [X] 
because I didn't look up where exactly I thought it ought to go.

Note: I do think only having p=reject in here is correct because p=quarantine 
doesn't have the same blow-back effects on third parties.

Something like that?
