Just so I understand what t-online.de <http://t-online.de/> is announcing. 

t-online.de <http://t-online.de/> is looking for full alignment between the SPF 
domain (5321.from) AND the d=domain (DKIM) with the header from (5322.from). 

Additionally, t-online.de will reject any message that fails either SPF or DKIM 
authentication even if the other method passes. 

t-online.de <http://t-online.de/> is rejecting any message that does not align 
with both SPF and DKIM. 

t-online.de <http://t-online.de/> is rejecting any message that is not signed 
by DKIM. 

Is this a correct summary of the announcment?

If I understand the above statements, you are going much stricter than the 
DMARC spec and asking for a level of authentication currently beyond anything 
anyone else is doing. Your prerogative, of course, I just want to make sure I 
understand it in order to explain it to clients and ESPs as this such a 
tectonic shift in authentication requirements.
