AD Evaluation remarks, in no particular order (nothing too terrible):

* Section 1: It's sort-of there, but it might be helpful to state
explicitly that definitions from DMARCbis (e.g., "Domain Owner") are
imported here.

* Section 2.1 paragraph 4 says you "should" (lowercase) generate a distinct
report for each policy domain, and then paragraph 7 makes this a MUST.

* Section 2.1 paragraph 8 talks about the first mandatory section being
"the metadata section", while the next paragraph appears to call it "the
data section".

* Section 2.1 i invokes the "RFC5321.RcptTo" syntax to identify an element
in the envelope, a syntax introduced by RFC 5598, but that RFC isn't
referenced.

* Section 2.1 lists all the DKIM and SPF results in one long string
separated by slashes.  I suggest making this a bulleted list or a table, or
just say "any valid result value per RFC 8601".

* What's the normative SHOULD in Section 2.4 for?  When might an
implementer decide to do something else?  What breaks if you do?

* Section 2.6 starts talking about reporting URIs, which are specified in
DMARCbis rather than here.  A reference might be helpful.

* Section 2.6.2 says the message has to comply with both RFC5322 and
RFC2045.  What's going on here?  Why is it required to be MIME?  Could it
not be a plain message that happens to contain XML?  Or are we trying to
say there has to be a text/xml part that contains the report, and maybe
other parts that provide additional information for humans?  This question
might be answered by the next paragraph, in which case this might just need
some copy editing.

* Section 2.6.2 requires gzip.  What about other methods like zstd which
can provide better compression?

* Section 2.6.2: The "dmarc-subject" ABNF needs some wrapping (or at least
the text rendering is kinda messy).

* Please sort out your Acknowledgements section (which currently just says
"TBD") before we send this forward.
