In this revision I made an attempt to have consistent language and phrasing
for all five sub-sections of the IANA Considerations sections.

The model for the language used here is text that has essentially existed
in DMARCbis since the publication of rev -00, specifically in what was then
sections 10.4 and 10.5 of that document, sections that are now 9.3 and 9.4,
respectively, in the current revision.

https://github.com/ietf-wg-dmarc/draft-ietf-dmarc-dmarcbis/blob/main/draft-ietf-dmarc-dmarcbis-00.txt

The following sentence:

"The Designated Expert needs to confirm that the provided specification
adequately describes the property and the method for its evaluation and
clearly presents how they would be used within the DMARC context by Domain
Owners and Mail Receivers."

is in reference to the entries provided in the table in section 9.1, not
the entire registry.

If we hear from the IANA folks that they find any of the language in any of
section 9 confusing, then I will produce another rev to address their
concerns, but for now I'm inclined to leave it as is.
