That is both what 7489 says and what the current draft says.  Every DMARC
implementation I know checks both SPF and DKIM.  We considered and rejected
proposals to deprecate SPF, or to add a flag saying to check only one or the 
other.

If you think the draft needs changes, it'd be helpful if you could send text.
