Reporting is an important part of the design and I'd like the WG to
adopt the draft.

Having said that, the draft is missing a lot of details on how the
reports are sent.  Fortunately, most of the details can be borrowed
from DMARC: the report is a file of JSON with a name created by a rule
combining the reporter, the recipient and a timestamp, compressed with
gzip and sent as an application/gzip attachment.  This is exactly like
DMARC, substituting JSON for XML.

DMARC originally had both http and mail reporting.  I noticed fairly
late in the process that the http reporting in the spec wouldn't
actually work, so either they should fix the spec or take it out.
Since nobody had done http reporting and nobody was planning to, they
took it out.  Same choice here: it'd be easy enough to fix the text
saying that the https reporting does a PUT of an application/gzip just
like the one that'd be attached to the mail, but unless someone has a
concrete plan to implement it, I'd take it out. 

R's,
