I do not think we can make standard track document which do not
properly list mandatory to implement features, and give at least some
recommendations to the optional features, and which hides the
protocol feature requirements inside very hard to parse text (where
different people have different understanding what the text is trying
to say). 

For example the sction 5.3.3 has text:

5.3.3.  Determine If Authenticated Identifiers Exist

   For each Authentication Mechanism underlying DMARC, perform the
   required check to determine if an Authenticated Identifier
   (#authenticated-identifier) exists for the message if such check
   has not already been performed. .

Which I interpreted that implementations need to loop through each
authentication mechanism in DMARC (i.e., both SPF and DKIM), and
perform the required checks (earlier versions of the draft did say
that both SPF and DKIM MUST be done).

Some other people say that no, there is no need to implement any
authentication methods, and you can still be "implementing this
standard".

To make this really interoperable standard, we MUST have at least one
MUST to implement authentication method, and we need to clearly
express those requirements.
