Let me put this another way:

"The verifying DMARC SHOULD encode its results into an 
Authentication-Results header [RFC 8601] for downstream MTA's, MDA's, 
and MUA in the same administrative domain, and those downstream entities 
SHOULD use the Authentication-Results so as to not put undue burden on 
the DNS infrastructure".

Anything that would cause them to have to violate that SHOULD is a 
problem that needs to be resolved.

Mike, getting tired of the circularity going on here
