I think it is starting to build too much complexity in what receivers must do 
to generate aggregate reports. We should keep it light for receivers, it is up 
to senders to process the data. 

It seems important to me to be able to look at the ratio pass/fail to know if 
you have a phishing problem, or if you have something in your infrastructure 
that would reject too many good emails, compared to your phishing problem, if 
you move to an active policy. 

I think the spec should indicate, if not done already, that the receiver 
SHOULD(MUST?) report all emails in the aggregate report, but if people decide 
to go for this proposed option then at least notify it dumped some certain 
categories. 

However if you don't have the report of emails that pass, how do you find 
sending IPs that may have your DKIM key? 

So I'm not for limiting what goes in aggregate reports.
