I second your concerns in principle, but I don't think you need to
worry about these features being anything but optional.  I suspect
that a majority of our user don't actually have the fine control over
their DNS needed to implement DMARC.

Violating the RFC by munging From (for heaven's sake! have we learned
nothing from the sad history of Reply-To munging?) is simply not
acceptable for most purposes, although perfectly acceptable for
advertising. ;-)
