Doesn't this mean that DMP [...] require a minimum of 2 
DNS queries?

More like a maximum of two, minimum of one[1].

Ok, so DMP doesn't require you to fetch *both* the TXT record and the
A record?  Doesn't the TXT just say that "yes, this domain uses DMP"?

There's no A RR used at all in DMP.

Ooops, I was confused with FSV.  But, that doesn't change my point much.


So a receiver queries the IP+domain first, and if it gives NXDOMAIN only then

What is this "IP+domain" thing?  That is two queries, right?  One for
the _smtp-client.$FQDN and one for the $REV-ADDRESS....$FQDN.
