I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, a likely model for mailing
lists, borrowed from ARC, is to look back through the chain and if the original
message was DMARC aligned, accept the list's version. If you can just pick the
DMARC result our of a header, that would be nice. On ther other hand, a buggy or
malicious system could lie about A-R results, so I was wondering how you could
check for that. 

When I look at the A-R headers in my mailbox, I see results for DKIM, DMARC, and
SPF. If DKIM2 recipients undo the changes and check the chain of signatures,
they're going to know about each DKIM2 signature anyway. You can't recheck the
SPF result, but we all seem to agree that if SPF isn't dead, it should be. If
you have the DKIM results, it's trivial to figure out DMARC alignment. I don't
see anything useful in the A-R header that the recipient doesn't know, or
couldn't easily figure out.

Am I missing something?

R's,
John
