What if we were to look at re-writing this in a way that says something like 
this:

    In the case of optional DMARC flags (ex: sp, adkim, aspf, pct) that are
    malformed, the processing system SHOULD ignore them as invalid inputs, and 
MUST
    utilize the valid flags that are mandatory (ex: v, p) and properly 
formatted.
    Where an RUA tag exists and the mandatory flags are invalid the processor
    SHOULD default to p=none as the policy and indicate the change in the RUA 
report.

Example:
"V=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=quarter; rua=mailto:[email protected] The DMARC processor would evaluate that sp= is a bad value and ignore it completely, defaulting to just the valid p= record, and treat it accordingly under the DMARC process.

We could possibly suggest a notation for RUA reports as <policy>none (assumed)</policy> or use the existing override reporting options to indicate that this was the 'assumed/best guess' operation due to bad record formatting.


+1. The example should be part of the text, obviously (although the above indentation doesn't suggest so).
