This is getting confusing; can you provide a walkthrough of the proposed
lookup algorithm, against a real-world example domain?  thanks.

I believe the question we are trying to answer is:

  given current-domain example.com, and
  given directive report:foo(_at_)example(_dot_)org,

how do we decide whether to honour foo(_at_)example(_dot_)org or discard it as a
potential DDOS?
