Overall I'm comfortable with the introduction verbiage. I do have one
concern:

"For a mail-receiving organization supporting DMARC, a message that

   passes validation is part of a message stream that is reliably

   associated with the Domain Owner and/or any, some, or all of the

   Authenticated Identifiers.  Therefore, reputation assessment of that

   stream by the mail-receiving organization does not need to be

   encumbered by accounting for unauthorized use of any domains."



My concern is with "does not need to be encumbered by accounting for
unauthorized use of any domains". This ignores cases such as DNS hijacking
and domain compromise. Perhaps changing it to "does not need to be
encumbered by accounting for unauthorized use of any domains by 3rd party
senders" or  "does not need to be encumbered by accounting for unauthorized
use of any domains by 3rd party originators"
