I agree that np should default to p.  The original wording for sp is also 
simpler than''If absent, the policy specified by the "sp" (if present) and then 
the "p" tag, if not, MUST be applied for non-existent subdomains.''  (BTW, mind 
that "sp" instead of "np" in the new tag's definition.)

That is at odds with the order reported by dmarcian:

NetEase (163.com, 126.com, yeah.net)
Google *
Yahoo!
Microsoft
AOL
cisco Systems
DHL
Comcast *
Tencent (qq.com)
Mail.ru
.... https://dmarc.org/stats/dmarc-reporting/
(That used to be on dmarcian, but couldn't find it any more)

Hmm...  Mail.ru reports seem to be missing from non-existing domains.  My 
experience differs slightly.  Yesterday I sent a few messages to mail.ru.  Five 
of them from a nonext domain (IP 5.170.8.66), all of which were rejected, two 
of which were reported in the aggregate report attached.  However risible these 
numbers may sound when compared to yours, it is clear that not all messages are 
reported.

It is possible that some cases of non-existent domain are treated as a 
short-cut, skipping message registration and DMARC verification altogether, 
even if the reject always came after DATA...  Just mumbling.  Considering that 
most DMARC packages work as mail filters, I'd expect messages filtered out 
before will never make their way to aggregate reports.  Is that a DMARC 
violation?
