For the sake of trying to spark discussion:

I think this might be the most important point that needs discussion before
we Last Call this document.  The specific thing that concerns me is that
we're seeking Standards Track status for something that has well documented
interoperability problems, and -- conspicuously, in my view -- this version
of the DMARC specification doesn't improve on any of that since RFC 7489,
which was the tacit agreement between the IESG and the working group.  This
should be explained.

I believe it is related to, but not exactly the same as, the MUST NOT vs.
SHOULD NOT decision that was made not long ago regarding interoperability
advice.  It's clear where consensus ended up, but I think the document
falls short of explaining to the reader why this WG is prepared to get
behind something that has these aspects to it, and that's something that
should be fixed before it advances.  I think the reasoning is scattered in
that discussion thread and elsewhere in the archive, but someone should
probably take a shot at synthesizing it into a few sentences.

So does anyone want to propose text to add that explains this?  This could
go in the document itself (my preference, as that's going to be the most
obvious place to look for a rationale later), or if we prefer, it could be
added to the shepherd writeup.
