Steve and Mike's postings comments were compatible-but-different, by my 
reading.  I'll continue that trend:

DMARC provides a set of mechanisms that facilitate development of a 
trust-overly between mail operators who work on behalf of a specific 
type of content author, and the operators of receiving mailbox services. 
  The mechanisms integrate existing MTA-level authentication methods, 
extending them to the RFC5322.From field, and providing guidance for 
processing and reporting on received messages.

I think that Steve's characterization of the most-appropriate 
sending-side candidates for using DMARC is reasonable.
