Maybe we just need to leave some leeway to implementers.  Another doubt when 
going to higher Ns is why not explore a bit around the local domain before 
jumping near the root.  I mean, for example, for N=6 one could lookup:

_dmarc.a.b.c.d.e.mail.example.com
_dmarc.b.c.d.e.mail.example.com
_dmarc.e.mail.example.com
_dmarc.mail.example.com
_dmarc.example.com
_dmarc.com

I know the result has to be the same for all,  and it will.  The limiting N is 
a countermeasure against possible abuses, which are not the core cases.
