As an individual: everyone who reads the document stand-alone gets confused
by this lack of clarity (it's the common thread through all the last call
reviews so far), and a concise summary up top feels valuable both for this
evaluation process, and for any future consumers of the document. Whether
someone's familiar with DMARC or not, if they're reading this document,
what's the harm in spelling it out very clearly, especially if we have text
that we believe accomplishes this?
