I believe here is some confusion about the term "authorization".
RMX and similar records are authorization statements. Why shouldn't
they be?
Policy is the wrong term here. A policy would be to reject all
messages which fail the LMAP/RMX/... check, i.e. how to treat messages
which failed the authorization check.
The domain publishing LMAP information is publishing a policy: Who
is authorized to use it's name. The MTA receiving an SMTP connection
may choose to enforce that policy. That enforcement is called
authorization.
