I will point out that specifications don't have to say "MUST" in order
to be normative.

Whether the working group wants "MUST" for emphasis or not is a
question the working group has to answer.  But the text Tero quoted
(repeating here for convenience):

>   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.

...is absolutely normative.
