Hi,

this paragraph is fine:

   To illustrate, in relaxed mode, if a verified DKIM signature
   successfully verifies with a "d=" domain of "example.com", and the
   RFC5322.From address is "ale...@news.example.com", the DKIM "d="
   domain and the RFC5322.From domain are considered to be "in
   alignment", because both domains have the same Organizational Domain
   of "example.com".  In strict mode, this test would fail because the
   d= domain does not exactly match the RFC5322.From domain.

However, the following one is deceiving:

   However, a DKIM signature bearing a value of "d=com" would never
   allow an "in alignment" result, as "com" should be identified as a
   PSD and therefore cannot be an Organizational Domain.

Should a PSL-free implementation walk the tree of the d= domain to determine the organizational domain of the signature? That's not necessary. I'd point out something like so:

   Note that, since the signature was verified and the public key retrieved,
   it is sufficient to verify that the signing domain is either the
   Organizational Domain or a subdomain of it.


Best
Ale
