Yes, part of the DKIM-Signature header, probably (though that's not a
requirement, just one obvious implementation).

That's one option, and likely the more useful one.

ISPs with actual users probably shouldn't be publishing DMARC p=reject records,
because it interferes with normal use of email by their users. Those are 
exactly the same
senders who allow users to generate content which they then sign, so are
more than usually vulnerable to replay of DKIM signed messages.

(None of this is really about _abuse_ per-se, it's about the control that a 
domain
owner wants to have over the use of their domain in any context. Email, and
preventing users of email from using domains, is the current battlefield.)
