Since we are now pretty much through even the IESG last call period, I'm
loathe to make any changes without a groundswell of assent across the
entire group.

Please take a look at the new Appendix B (
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dmarc-arc-protocol-20#appendix-B)
which was mocked out with Mail::DKIM. There are traces of where changes
happened in the AAR from the ARC chain validation - the motive A-R headers
were manually created by me and did not include the newer pieces since the
system that generated the A-R did not have access to the info. It's not
quite as easy to parse, but the info is there.
