To be clear, let's imagine a company (say a bank) with the following TLS
policies (written roughly Postfix-style, but should be clear even to the
uninitiated):

        # Mandatory PKIX authenticated TLS with back office settlement business 
partner,
        # And mutually agreed set of CAs.
        #
        partner.example         secure tafile=partner-cas.pem 
match=mx.partner.example

        # Mandatory DANE-TLS with another business partner known to support DANE
        #
        partner2.example        dane-only

        # Opportunistic DANE TLS when available with general-purpose email
        # (In real life the global default would be specified elsewhere)
        *                       dane

I think you're saying that the company could allow its users to bypass
the locally-policy business partner domain rules, but must refuse to
allow users to exempt casual correspondence from DANE (or MTA-STS)
policy when published by the destination domain.

Is that right?
