Fixed (though there were only a few).

Hopefully the DKIM part is simpler, since it doesn't involve DNS at all 
anymore.  It's all now signature tags.

The syntax of this has changed now to specify a count and an interval.  The 
thrust is for "X/Y" you specify you want no more than X reports in Y seconds.  
As long as sending another report now would not exceed that limit, send away.

The point there is to give guidance on what to do if you're given a request for 
a "foobar" report when you don't know what that is, just like in DKIM we told 
people to ignore signature tags they don't know about.  You're right about the 
MUST NOT though.

Yes, fixed.

"rf" has been removed.

Scott's handling the SPF stuff now, so I'll leave it to him to comment there.
