RFC7489 contains a description of the possible PolicyOverrideType values: <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7489#page-72>

While aggregate-reporting-14 uses the same set of values, the description is missing. I suggest to add it back as a new section into the main body. "sampled_out" needs an update due to the replacement of the "pct" tag. Text suggestion follows.

OLD 2.1.1
There MAY be an element for reason, meant to include any notes the reporter might want to include as to why the disposition policy does not match the policy_published, such as a Local Policy override (possible values listed in Appendix A).

CHANGED 2.1.1
There MAY be an element for reason, meant to include any notes the reporter might want to include as to why the disposition policy does not match the policy_published, such as a Local Policy override (see Section 2.1.5).

NEW 2.1.5 Policy Override Reason

The reason element, indicating an override of the DMARC policy, consists of a mandatory type field and an optional comment field. The type field MUST have one of the pre-defined values listed below. The comment field is an unbounded string for providing further details.

Possible values for the policy override type:

   forwarded:  The message was relayed via a known forwarder, or local
      heuristics identified the message as likely having been forwarded.
      There is no expectation that authentication would pass.

   local_policy:  The Mail Receiver's local policy exempted the message
      from being subjected to the Domain Owner's requested policy
      action.

   mailing_list:  Local heuristics determined that the message arrived
      via a mailing list, and thus authentication of the original
      message was not expected to succeed.

   other:  Some policy exception not covered by the other entries in
      this list occurred.  Additional detail can be found in the
      PolicyOverrideReason's "comment" field.

   sampled_out:  The message was exempted from application of policy by
      the testing mode ("t" tag) in the DMARC policy record.

   trusted_forwarder:  Message authentication failure was anticipated by
      other evidence linking the message to a locally maintained list of
      known and trusted forwarders.

Matt
