It's semi-explicitly defined that way in the RFC, isn't it?

We had intended the publication of a DMARC policy to be a message from the ADMD owning a domain name to any ADMD receiving mail from it about how to handle unauthenticated or unaligned messages.  It's actually morphed on its own into also being a message to any MLM that might be in the way to take particular rewriting actions.  I wonder if the standards track version of DMARC should explicitly take this into account..
