What about using the error report of RFC 7489 for this purpose instead of aggregate report? ( https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7489#section-7.2.2 )

I have never seen any error report but I think that error reports were a great ideas because they can advertise the domain owner (through the valid URI) for any failing external destination verification We could also use the error reports for  to reports any syntactic errors in the record could be also useful, in my opinion.

As error reports have never gotten any traction, it would be a big effort to make this work. Reusing the existing ecosystem of aggregate reports is a lower hanging fruit. Tools and processes are established and even the aggregate report format supports it already.

However, it needs to be well defined to avoid sending to much unsolicited  message (Usenix 2023 : You've Got Report: Measurement and Security Implications of DMARC Reporting <https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity23/presentation/ashiq>.) Sending error reports only to domains under authority of the Domain Owner would solve the issue.

I believe aggregate reports have already addressed this issue (Verifying External Destinations).
