The second principle in my discussion about NP is that an unregistered
organization is by definition an unacceptable impersonation.   When
organization existence has not been demonstrated by discovery of a DMARC
policy (or SPF policy or DKIM key), then it should be explicitly tested for
existence and blocked on failure.

All forms of acceptable impersonation are on behalf of a real account in a
real domain, derived from a prior relationship with that entity.
 Unregistered domain names are an attack on the recipient, on the
registrar, on the organizations that have registered properly, and on the
not-yet-registered organization that may want to use that name in
the future.

The value of the PSD=Y with NP clause is to provide reporting of
violations, and to bring this issue to the attention of all evaluators.
 But evaluators should not require a NP clause to detect and block
violations.    "FakeYouOut.com" is just as bad as "FakeYouOut.bank".
