Some quick observations:  s/4871/6376/, s/sender/signer/ (or whatever is
state of the art in DKIM terminology), and maybe say "alleged author" if
that is the correct ADSP term.  It was straight forward to find _where_
the marf-reporting-discovery will find its TXT, for marf-dkim-reporting
it took me some time to check RFCs 6376 + 5617.  I think (could be wrong)
that I understand the ADSP part, but I'm less sure about the DKIM part.

The SPF draft has an example where example.org wants reports at another
domain [email protected]  That makes me nervous, the opposition
could publish malicious DNS records for some kind of indirect attack.

I don't see why that's necessary for SPF or ADSP.  It might be different
for broken or forged DKIM signatures, but generally I think that anybody
"doing something" with mail at a domain where they can add TXT records
can also arrange a postmaster@ or similar mailbox at this domain.

For ri=1 (non-zero) how long are receivers expected to wait for another
incident?  If you want ri=9, and I get only 8 broken signatures within
a day, does this mean that you want no report because 8 is less than 9?

Or do you want no second report before I got 2*9 broken signatures, no
matter how long it takes?  It is not clear for me why receivers would
ever wish to follow detailed instructions about their reports, even
including MUSTs and MUST NOTs in section 5.

For ADSP ro=u I'm not sure what it is, is this simply "all minus ro=s"?
Should the ADSP ro=u explanation (5.2) say "and" instead of "but"?

The rf=smtp + rs=... magic is apparently something in the direction of
the SPF exp= magic.  Or maybe not, please add more than one example for
rf=smtp + rs=... tricks (or a pointer if this is explained elsewhere.)

For ADSP + DKIM the marf-reporting stuff should fit into the relevant
TXT records, for SPF I'm not sure.  If you (= the WG) intend to create
a general _report discovery mechanism it would be confusing to create
additional specific ADSP + DKIM + SPF mechanisms, and vice versa, but I
have no idea or opinion what's better (specific vs. general _report).
